TechnipFMC slots first subsea piece into Guyanese waters for ExxonMobil’s fifth oil project

(offshore-energy.biz) UK-headquartered energy technology provider TechnipFMC has put the first equipment part of a subsea production system in place for an oil development at the Stabroek block, which ExxonMobil Guyana Limited, a subsidiary of the U.S.-headquartered energy giant ExxonMobil, operates off the coast of Guyana.

ExxonMobil hired TechnipFMC in May 2023 to provide a subsea production system for Uaru, which is the oil major’s fifth oil development project in Guyana’s Stabroek block. The contract’s value is said to be between $500 million and $1 billion.

As a result, the UK firm is in charge of project management, engineering, and manufacturing to deliver the overall subsea production system for the project, covering 44 subsea trees and associated tooling, as well as 12 manifolds and associated controls and tie-in equipment.

TechnipFMC describes the installation of its first Subsea 2.0 equipment in the waters of Guyana for the Uaru project as “another magic moment.” According to the company, a tubing head for ExxonMobil’s fifth oil development was locked into position using one of its Schilling UHD-II ROVs.
