    LLOG sanctioned the Taggart development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico in June 2020, and it was brought onstream in 2023.
    EnerMech has been awarded a contract from LLOG Exploration for pre-commissioning services at the Salamanca platform in the Gulf of Mexico. 
     
    The work scope includes hydrotesting and nitrogen dewatering of three 8-inch infield flowlines, one 16-inch oil export pipeline and one 10-inch gas export pipeline. 
     
    The award follows EnerMech's 2024 contract for topside pre-commissioning services.
     
    The Salamanca floating production unit (FPU) will operate at a depth of about 6,400 ft of water with production from the Leon and Castille fields. Initial production capacity is estimated at 60,000 bbl/d of oil and 40 MMcf/d of natural gas.

    The FPU is a refurbished structure of the previously decommissioned Independence Hub production facility.

    The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is taking place May 5-8 in Houston, Texas. View the OTC 2025 Technical Program for a list of the sessions LLOG is participating in and/or moderating.
