TechnipFMC has been awarded by BP a large contract on March 1 for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the FPSO unit to be deployed offshore on the maritime border of Mauritania and Senegal.
This award is a continuation to the FEED contract awarded in April 2018.
TechnipFMC will bring its expertise to deliver major projects, leveraging extensive experience with fabrication yards and from successful references for delivery of offshore gas monetization facilities such as floating LNG, FPSO and conventional platforms.
“We are honored to be entrusted with the execution of this prestigious contract in West Africa which is a testimonial to our long-term partnership with BP and our leadership in the gas monetization industry,” Nello Uccelletti, president of TechnipFMC’s onshore/offshore business, said.
The initial subsea infrastructure connects the first four wells consolidated through production pipelines leading to this FPSO. From here liquids are removed and the export gas is transported via a pipeline to the LNG hub terminal where the gas is liquefied.
For TechnipFMC, a large contract ranges between $500 million and $1 billion, the company said.
