Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd., a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corp., awarded a "significant" contract to TechnipFMC for a gas-to-energy project in Guyana, a press release announced on Aug. 1.
Per the contract, TechnipFMC will provide engineering, procurement, construction and installation services of subsea risers and pipelines for the project. The project will connect the production from the Liza Destiny and Unity FPSOs back to shore, delivering associated gas from the offshore field to a gas-fired power plant.
Although the full award of the contract was not disclosed, TechnipFMC defines a "significant" contract to be between $75 million and $250 million.
“The gas to energy project is another example of how we are helping deliver the energy the world needs, and we are thrilled to be supporting another project in Guyana," TechnipFMC president of subsea Jonathan Landes said in the release. "We remain proud of our dedicated Guyanese employees and are committed to the continued development and expansion of local capabilities.”
The project will consist of an onshore NGL and natural gas processing plant and a 225-km offshore pipeline connecting the Liza Phase 1 and Liza Phase 2 FPSOs. With production anticipated to begin in 2024, it aims to supply electricity to the Guyanese community.
TechnipFMC currently employs more than 85 Guyanese workers and expects to continue to hire and train additional local staff as the project continues to develop.
