TechnipFMC awarded contract for Tortue/Ahmeyim Development FPSO
LONDON & PARIS & HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
TechnipFMC (NYSE: FTI) (PARIS: FTI) has been awarded
a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract by BP for the floating
production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit for
the Tortue/Ahmeyim Field Development, a major LNG (liquefied natural
gas) project located offshore on the maritime border of Mauritania and
Senegal.
The agreement between the two companies provides a mechanism to
allow a transition of the contract to an Engineering, Procurement,
Construction and Installation (EPCI) contract at a later stage.
TechnipFMC will work on defining the technology and equipment scope and
brings expertise to deliver major projects, leveraging extensive
experience with Chinese fabrication.
Nello Uccelletti, President of TechnipFMC’s Onshore/Offshore business,
commented: “We are very honored to be awarded this contract in
West Africa which further demonstrates our leading position in offshore
gas monetization. We look forward to collaborating with BP to
unlock the full potential of this important project.”
The initial subsea infrastructure connects the first four wells
consolidated through production pipelines leading to a FPSO vessel. From
here liquids are removed and the export gas is transported via a
pipeline to the floating liquid natural gas (FLNG) hub terminal where
the gas is liquefied.
The Tortue/Ahmeyim Field Development is located in the C-8 block off the
shore of Mauritania and the Saint-Louis Profond block offshore Senegal.
The Tortue discovery was made by Kosmos Energy, which farmed down its
investment to BP in December 2016. BP now has the largest interest
(~60%) among the four partners in the project and is the operator.
