ExxonMobil Corp. contractor Modec has signed TMC Compressors (TMC) to supply a large capacity marine compressed air system to Modec’s Errea Wittu FPSO to be sited offshore Guyana.
TMC will provide a large-capacity marine compressed air system including compressors for control and service air on board the FPSO.
TMC will manufacture and assemble the equipment in Europe.
Offshore Frontier Solutions Pte. Ltd., a Modec Group company, is responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the FPSO based on Modec's M350TM newbuild hull.
The FPSO will have a topside designed to produce about 250,000 b/d of oil and will have associated gas treatment capacity of 540 MMcfd, water injection capacity of 350,000 b/d, and produced water capacity of 300,000 b/d. The FPSO will have the capacity to store 2 million bbl of oil.
Modec was authorized to proceed with the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) scope for the FPSO in May 2023 following ExxonMobil Guyana Ltd.’s final investment decision to develop the $12.7-billion development Uaru project, the operator’s fifth development on Stabroek block in Guyana (OGJ Online, Apr. 28, 2023). Uaru will have a production capacity of about 250,000 gross b/d of oil with production targeted for startup in 2026.
