Shell Offshore Inc. has contracted Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters Pte. Ltd. to build and integrate the topsides and hull of a floating production unit (FPU) for the Whale field in the Gulf of Mexico. The agreement precedes a final investment decision for the full Whale project, which is expected to be made this year by Shell. It paves the way for the Whale FPU to move ahead and take advantage of synergies from Shell’s Vito FPU, currently under construction at Sembcorp Marine’s Tuas Boulevard Yard. The Whale FPU comprises a topsides module and a four-column semisubmersible floating hull, with a combined weight of 25,000 metric tons. Slated for completion in 2022, it will operate in the Alaminos Canyon block 772.
