Italian oilfield services company Saipem has secured a key engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract for the subsea development of the GranMorgu project, offshore Suriname.
The contract, worth $1.9bn, was awarded by TotalEnergies EP Suriname, a subsidiary of project operator TotalEnergies.
The scope of work includes the engineering, procurement, supply, construction, installation, and pre-commissioning of the Subsea Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF) package at water depths between 100m and 1,100m.
It will include 100km of 10inch to 12inch subsea production flowlines, 90km of 8inch to 12inch water and gas injection lines, and the T&I of flexible risers, umbilicals and associated structures.
The company plans to deploy S-Lay and J-Lay vessels for the work.
GranMorgu is located in Block 58, around 150 km off the coast of Suriname. TotalEnergies announced the Final Investment Decision (FID) on the offshore project in October 2024.
Saipem will carry out the project works in cooperation with TechnipFMC, which will deliver the Subsea Production System (SPS) and flexible risers and umbilical equipment packages.
The scope of TechnipFMC deliveries includes Subsea 2.0 tree systems, manifolds, connectors, and topside control equipment along with umbilicals, flexible jumpers, and flexible risers.
TechnipFMC Subsea president Jonathan Landes said: “We are very pleased to receive this integrated EPCI award for the GranMorgu project. We are bringing our new frontier experience and differentiated technology—including Subsea 2.0—while leveraging the complementary capabilities of our vessel ecosystem.”
Meanwhile, a joint venture of SBM Offshore and Technip Energies will build and install the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) for GranMorgu project.
The FPSO vessel will be connected to the subsea infrastructure to enable production.
GranMorgu is expected to produce first oil in 2028.
