Seatrium Delivers FPSO for Woodside’s Sangomar Project
Seatrium Limited (Seatrium, or the Company) announced today that it has successfully delivered the Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO), FPSO Léopold Sédar Senghor, to MODEC Offshore Production Systems (Singapore) Pte Ltd (MODEC) with no lost time incidents.
The FPSO will be acquired by Woodside Energy (Senegal) B.V., who as operator, is progressing the development of the Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 – Senegal’s first offshore oil development. Mr Marlin Khiew, Executive Vice President, Oil & Gas (Americas), Seatrium said, “We are pleased to support Woodside in contributing to Senegal’s oil and gas industry with a first FPSO for deployment in the Sangomar Field, delivering sustainable long-term economic and social benefits for Senegal.
FPSO Léopold Sédar Senghor reinforces Seatrium’s standing as the world leader in the conversion, modification, and completion of FPSOs, and attests to our strong execution capabilities and versatility in undertaking a variety of projects as well as providing value-added services. It also marks our 20th major project for MODEC, building on the strong value creation and partnership that we have forged over decades of collaboration.” Seatrium’s scope of work include topsides integration, as well as support for the onshore commissioning of the FPSO. The Sangomar (formerly SNE) field is located 100 kilometres south of Dakar, Senegal’s capital.
The FPSO will be moored in waters approximately 780 metres deep and is designed to produce 100,000 barrels of oil per day and will be able to store approximately 1.3 million barrels of crude oil. Seatrium has also commenced work on another MODEC FPSO earmarked for Brazil (the Bacalhau FPSO). The vessel hull recently arrived at Seatrium’s yard in Singapore and work onboard has commenced. Seatrium recently announced that it has also secured a contract from Offshore Frontier Solutions Pte Ltd, a MODEC Group company, to undertake topside modules fabrication work for the FPSO Raia in Brazil.
The project will be executed in our BrasFELS shipyard located in Angra Dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2024. Seatrium, a leading global provider of engineering solutions to the marine, offshore and energy sectors, has a well-established track record of FPSO conversion, modification and completion, with its first conversion in 1981 for FPSO II.
