Kaieteur News- Dutch-ship builder SBM offshore, has awarded a pre-commissioning contract to EnerMech to carry out pre-commissioning work on the ONE GUYANA Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) for ExxonMobil’s Yellowtail development in the prolific Stabroek Block.
In a statement on Monday, EnerMech said that it had successfully delivered pre-commissioning campaigns for all three FPSOs currently producing in the field: the Liza Destiny, Liza Unity and Prosperity.
SBM’s ONE Guyana FPSO is designed to produce approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd), with an associated gas treatment capacity of approximately 450 million cubic feet per day, and a water injection capacity of approximately 300,000 barrels per day. It will be spread-moored in a water depth of around 1,800 meters and will have the capacity to store around 2 million barrels of crude oil.
Under the pre-commissioning contract, EnerMech will execute critical operations including offshore risers leak testing, gas injection riser de-watering, umbilical electrical and fiber optic testing, along with the installation of interconnecting tubing and flushing and testing equipment on the ONE GUYANA FPSO.
EnerMech Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Charles Davison, Jnr. said: “We are honored to be selected once again by SBM Offshore for such a pivotal project, reinforcing the trust and confidence placed in our solutions orientated strategies and capabilities. This award builds on EnerMech’s extensive experience with the three preceding FPSOs – Liza Destiny, Liza Unity, and Prosperity – demonstrating our commitment to delivering a high-quality service in the region.”
He added, “Our selection for this critical work reflects not only our proven track record but also our unparalleled expertise and rigorous standards we adhere to. We look forward to contributing to the success of the ONE GUYANA FPSO and further supporting the energy ambitions of Guyana.”
For his part, EnerMech’s Vice President (VP) of Operations in Americas, Frazer Thomson, said, “The ONE GUYANA FPSO pre-commissioning scope of work requires precise execution and deep technical expertise to manage the complex challenges these operations present, and we have consistently delivered successful outcomes for SBM GDO in the region. Our ability to deploy specialised personnel and advanced technology underlines our readiness to handle the demanding environment of deepwater operations.”
EnerMech Guyana Country Manager, Darrel Sookdeo added, “We are committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and efficiency whilst bolstering our local content, ensuring that the ONE GUYANA FPSO is fully prepared to meet its production targets as it enters the next phase of its journey.”
