A combination of vessels with S-Lay and J-Lay laying capabilities will be deployed in 2027 and 2028, thus providing the optimal solution for pipeline installation
Saipem announced that it has been awarded an EPCI contract by TotalEnergies EP Suriname B.V., a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, for the subsea development of the GranMorgu project, located in the Block 58 oil and gas field, 150 km off the coast of Suriname. The contract is worth $1.9 billion.
The full project
The full project, expected to last 5 years with a First Oil in 2028, represents the first major subsea development in Suriname, and it is aimed at expanding the production of the block central area through a system of subsea wells connected to a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.
Deploy a combination of S-Lay and J-Lay vessels
This includes the EPCI of approximately 100 km of 10” to 12” subsea production flowlines, 90 km of 8” to 12” water and gas injection lines, and the T&I of flexible risers, umbilicals and associated structures, at water depths ranging from 100 to 1,100 meters. For the offshore campaign, taking place in 2027 and 2028, Saipem will deploy a combination of S-Lay and J-Lay vessels, providing the optimal pipeline installation solution.
Subsea Production System (SPS) project
Moreover, Saipem will execute the project in cooperation with TechnipFMC, the company in charge of the Subsea Production System (SPS) and flexible risers and umbilical equipment packages, to optimize the integration between the mutual scopes of work, thus demonstrating the successful collaborative model of the commercial alliance created by the two companies in 2021 for the pursuit of subsea projects including integrated SURF-SPS developments.
Important contract in Suriname
This important contract in Suriname, with its long-term commitment, contributes to the overall fleet booking until 2028. Moreover, it consolidates Saipem’s presence in South America and reinforces the company’s track record in the development of complex subsea projects.
