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.
