SBM Offshore FPSO closing in on first oil with mooring off Guyana out of the way 

(offshore-energy.biz) Netherlands-based SBM Offshore, a provider of the design, construction, installation, and operation of offshore floating facilities, has crossed off the task list the mooring of its new floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel, which will enable the start of production from ExxonMobil’s fourth oil project in the Stabroek block off the coast of Guyana.

Following the arrival of the FPSO One Guyana from Singapore to Guyanese shores on April 15, 2025, SBM Offshore’s Installation Team completed the mooring of the unit on May 5, 2025, with the Normand Installer vessel, connecting each of the 20 mooring lines just 19 days after the unit arrived in the country.

The moored operation entailed pre-lay mooring line survey by the Normand Installer vessel; safe and efficient coordination of tug station-keeping, rescue drills, and fairlead preparation; and seamless teamwork between the tow master, Normand Installer crew, and FPSO team for mooring line transfer and tensioning.

The Dutch player, which describes the FPSO mooring milestone as a major achievement in its offshore operations in the South American country, highlighted: “This success is a testament to the dedication, precision, and collaboration of everyone involved, both offshore and onshore. A big thank you to all teams who made this possible!”
