TechnipFMC is responsible for a subsea production system (SPS), which includes Subsea 2.0 tree systems, manifolds, connectors, and topside controls. It also provides flexible risers and umbilical equipment packages. FTI’s scope of work in the contract is valued at over $1 billion.
Saipem’s contract covers the engineering, procurement, supply, construction, and installation of subsea infrastructure, including umbilicals, risers, and flowlines. The company is also responsible for pre-commissioning work and supporting the commissioning and start-up of the Subsea Umbilicals, Risers, and Flowlines (“SURF”) package.
SAPMF will carry out the engineering, procurement, supply, construction, and installation of 100 kilometers of subsea production flowlines (with diameters ranging between 10 inches and 12 inches) and 90 kilometers of gas and water injection lines (with diameters in the band of 8-12 inches). Moreover, the company will be responsible for the transportation and installation of flexible risers, umbilicals and other associated subsea infrastructures. The operations related to the project will be conducted at water depths of 100-1,100 meters.
This project marks a milestone for the oil and gas industry in Suriname as it is the first notable subsea development in the region. It is aimed at increasing production from the region by connecting a network of subsea wells to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. TotalEnergies has awarded SBM Offshore the contract for developing the FPSO for the GranMorgu field.
The offshore campaign for this project is expected to take place between 2027 and 2028. Saipem will utilize its S-Lay and J-Lay vessels, customizing pipeline installation to deliver the optimal solution for the campaign. The full project is anticipated to continue for up to 5 years. The first oil production from the GranMorgu field is expected in 2028.
