Offshore energy services giant TechnipFMC has bagged the EPCI contract from Husky Energy relating to the latter’s $1.6bn West White Rose project in the Canadian part of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) contract in this regard will involve supply and installation of subsea equipment from TechnipFMC.
The equipment will be used for connecting the West White Rose Platform to the SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
TechnipFMC says that the subsea equipment includes tie-in manifolds, flexible flowlines and control umbilicals.
TechnipFMC Subsea Projects president Hallvard Hasselknippe said: “TechnipFMC is honored to be awarded the next phase in the Husky White Rose field development. It continues TechnipFMC’s strong positioning within Canada’s East Coast offshore industry.”
Earlier in the month, Husky Energy awarded a construction contract of the project to a consortium featuring SNC-Lavalin, Dragados Canada and Pennecon. The consortium will construct a concrete gravity structure (CGS) which will be used for a fixed drilling platform.
Canada-based Husky Energy is the operator of the project with nearly 70% stake. Suncor Energy and Nalcor Energy are the other project owners.
First oil from the West White Rose project is expected to flow in 2022.
Once the development wells are drilled and brought online, the project is expected to reach a gross peak production rate of nearly 75,000 barrels per day (bbls/day) in 2025.
Discovered in 1984, the main White Rose field is located nearly 350km east of St. John’s in the Newfoundland and Labrador province. It is contained in water depths of about 120m on the eastern edge of the Jeanne d’Arc Basin.
