ExxonMobil affiliate, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) has contracted global leader in subsea in surface projects, TechnipFMC to provide engineering, construction and installation of subsea risers and pipelines for the nation’s imminent gas-to-energy project.
The scope of work will allow for connection of pipes from the Liza Destiny and Liza Unity ships back to shore, and ultimately the delivery of associated gas to a gas-fired power plant that will supply electricity from the Wales Development Authority.
Jonathan Landes, President, Subsea at TechnipFMC said the contract which is deemed to be “significant” is another example of it is helping deliver the energy the world needs. “We are thrilled to be supporting another project in Guyana. We remain proud of our dedicated Guyanese employees and are committed to the continued development and expansion of local capabilities,” said Landes.
For TechnipFMC, a “significant” contract is between $75 million and $250 million. Guyana Standard understands that the full contract award will not be included in inbound orders until the project receives final investment decision and government approvals.
TechnipFMC currently employs more than 85 Guyanese, and expects to continue to hire and train additional local staff in support of this award.
Guyana Standard previously reported that Exxon awarded another pipe laying contract for the project to Subsea 7 and Royal Van Oord. The consortium is expected to lay pipes, in water depths of up to 1,450 metres.
