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.
