MODEC’s first FPSO destined for Guyana reaches new construction stage

(offshore-energy.biz) Japan’s MODEC has completed a phase in the construction of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit to be deployed to a project offshore Guyana operated by the U.S.-headquartered oil and gas giant ExxonMobil.

MODEC described the hull sailaway ceremony of the FPSO Errea Wittu in China and arrival in Singapore on June 28 as a significant milestone and a major step forward for the ExxonMobil-operated Uaru project, the fifth development in the Stabroek block.

The sailaway ceremony in China marked the completion of the hull construction and commissioning works, including partial module lifting and integration. Now that the module has arrived in Singapore, the next phase will focus on module integration and commissioning activities before deployment to offshore Guyana. 

“As we move into the next phase of the project, we remain focused on safety, quality, and collaboration. The journey of FPSO Errea Wittu is a proud example of what we can accomplish together, and we look forward to her successful deployment and operation in the near future,” said MODEC.
