Woodside lets contract to support ongoing production from Pluto LNG project

Woodside Energy has let an integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation contract to TechnipFMC in Australia.

TechnipFMC will design, manufacture, and install the subsea production system, flexible pipe, and umbilicals for the Xena infill well (Xena-3) to support ongoing production from the Pluto LNG project, the company said in a release May 14. Woodside took final investment decision on Xena-3 in this year’s first quarter.

The award follows an integrated front end engineering design study.

Xena Phase 3 will be tied back to existing subsea infrastructure previously supplied by TechnipFMC.

TechnipFMC values the contract at $75-250 million.
