Jumbo Offshore has successfully completed the mooring pre-installation activities for the FPSO Errea Wittu, operated by Exxon Mobil Guyana in the Uaru Field within the Stabroek Block. The work was carried out on behalf of Modec as part of the project’s field development activities.
The pre-installation scope comprised the deployment of suction anchors and the pre-laying of mooring lines to facilitate the upcoming FPSO hook-up phase. Jumbo Offshore delivered full installation engineering, procurement, mobilisation and marshalling services to enable the offshore execution.
The offshore campaign was executed using Jumbo Offshore’s J-class installation vessel, Fairplayer. All operations were conducted in accordance with project requirements and applicable safety standards.
Freek Muurling, Project Manager at Jumbo Offshore said, “I am very proud of the hard work and commitment shown by all Jumbo personnel and subcontractors during the preparation, mobilisation, and execution of this deepwater pre-lay mooring project. The team demonstrated full focus on engineering, procurement, documentation, and meticulous planning in sometimes challenging circumstances. The yard and offshore teams’ resilience and teamwork led to a safe and successful completion of the mooring line installation campaign.
“I would also like to highlight the transparent and constructive communication between Jumbo, Modec, and Exxon, which created a strong working relationship and contributed greatly to moving the project forward safely and efficiently.”
The Uaru field is located 200 kilometres offshore Guyana at a depth of 1,750 metres. It is estimated to hold more than 800 million barrels of oil.
The Errea Wittu FPSO will produce 250,000 barrels of oil per day and will have a gas treatment capacity of 540 million cubic feet per day. It will have a water injection capacity of 350,000bpd, a produced water capacity of 300,000bpd and a storage capacity of two million barrels of crude oil.
