What's Happening?
ExxonMobil has awarded a substantial contract to TechnipFMC for the supply of subsea production systems for the Hammerhead development in Guyana's Stabroek Block. This marks the seventh greenfield project award from ExxonMobil Guyana since 2017. TechnipFMC will provide project management, engineering, and manufacturing of subsea production systems, including products from the Subsea 2.0® platform. The contract is valued between $250 million and $500 million, and aims to support both production and water injection capabilities.
Why It's Important?
The Hammerhead project is a significant development in Guyana's burgeoning oil and gas industry, which has seen rapid growth since ExxonMobil's first development was sanctioned in 2017. The award to TechnipFMC underscores the importance of reliable execution and technological innovation in subsea production systems. This project is expected to enhance Guyana's oil production capacity, contributing to the country's economic growth and energy sector development. It also strengthens the relationship between ExxonMobil and TechnipFMC, potentially leading to future collaborations.
What's Next?
TechnipFMC is expected to begin the project management and engineering processes for the Hammerhead development. The successful execution of this contract could lead to further opportunities for TechnipFMC in Guyana and other regions. ExxonMobil's continued investment in Guyana's oil sector may attract additional international interest and investment, further boosting the country's economic prospects.
