Under the deal, Fluor will design new offshore gas compression platform, as well as new connecting bridge and modifications to the existing Cassia hub.
The platform is also said to compress gas produced from the existing Cassia platforms.
Fluor plans to complete the FEED activities at the project by the end of this year, while the first gas from the project is expected to produce in 2020.
Fluor Americas energy and chemicals business president: “Fluor has 50 years of experience developing some of the world’s most complex offshore projects, including several BP facilities in Trinidad and Tobago.
“In addition, our Stork division currently provides maintenance, modification and asset integrity services to BP’s offshore assets there. With a focus on maximizing local content, we will deliver a safe, reliable and capital-efficient solution to BP.”
Fluor offshore operations executive director John Harrower said: “Benefits of this model include an improved design through fabrication and maintenance team engagement in the design process, reduced costs through the global sourcing of major equipment and improved execution through Fluor and Stork’s extensive in-country experience and use of local resources.”
Earlier this month, BP’s Trinidad and Tobago division, bpTT, had unveiled plans to develop an onshore compression project in the Caribbean country to increase production capacity in the Columbus Basin.
Considered to be one of the seven main upstream projects of the UK-based oil and gas giant, the project dubbed as the Trinidad onshore compression (TROC) is expected to be brought online this year.
Based in Irving of Texas, Fluor provides engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and maintenance services for its customers on six continents.
