SBM Offshore said May 10 that Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd. (EEPGL), an affiliate of ExxonMobil Corp., has confirmed the award of contracts for the next phase of the Liza project in Guyana.
Under these contracts, SBM Offshore will construct, install and thereafter lease and operate for up to two years the Liza Unity FPSO. This follows completion of FEED studies, receipt of requisite government approvals and the final investment decision on the project by ExxonMobil and block co-venturers.
The Liza Unity FPSO design is based on SBM Offshore’s industry leading Fast4WardTM program as it incorporates the company’s new-build, multipurpose hull combined with several standardized topsides modules.
The FPSO will be designed to produce 220,000 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d), will have associated gas treatment capacity of 400 million cubic feet per day and water injection capacity of 250,000 bbl/d. The FPSO will be spread moored in water depth of about 1,600 m and will be able to store around 2 MMbbl of crude oil.
The Liza field is located in the Stabroek block circa 200 km offshore Guyana. EEPGL is the operator and holds a 45% interest in the Stabroek block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds a 30% interest, and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Ltd. holds a 25% interest.
“We are proud that Exxon Mobil awarded SBM Offshore the contracts for the Liza Unity FPSO. The company is confident that this project will demonstrate the value that our Fast4WardTM program brings to our clients. We look forward to continuing the cooperation with our client Exxon Mobil on this second important project in Guyana,” SBM Offshore CEO Bruno Chabas said.
