TechnipFMC has been awarded a significant integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (iEPCI™) contract by Woodside Energy in Australia.
TechnipFMC will design, manufacture, and install the subsea production system, flexible pipe, and umbilicals for the Xena Infill well (XNA03) to support ongoing production from the Pluto LNG Project. The award follows an integrated front end engineering design (iFEED™) study.
The project will use the Company’s Subsea 2.0® production system. Xena Phase 3 will be tied back to existing subsea infrastructure previously supplied by TechnipFMC.
Jonathan Landes, President, Subsea at TechnipFMC, commented: “We are proud to be delivering a fully integrated project from concept to execution. This project will help our long-term client meet their objectives, demonstrating the favorable impact iFEED™, iEPCI™, and Subsea 2.0® can have on project economics.”
The contract is the latest call-off on the framework agreement between Woodside Energy and TechnipFMC.
The Pluto and Xena fields are being developed through five production wells connected to the Pluto A offshore platform, which commenced operations in March 2012 to provide feedstock gas for the Pluto LNG production line. The Pluto field is estimated to have regional recoverable dry gas reserves in excess of 5 Tcf.
Last month, TechnipFMC was also awarded an offshore contract from ExxonMobil Guyana Limited, a subsidiary of U.S. energy giant ExxonMobil, to provide services for ExxonMobil’s Whiptail project, which is the company’s sixth deep-water petroleum development in the Stabroek block off the coast of Guyana.
