On the FPSO Liza Destiny for ExxonMobil’s Liza field offshore Guyana, further work is taking place on parts of the flash gas compression system, which is due to be delivered in July 2021.

Planning also continues for installation of a re-designed third stage flash gas compression system at the end of this year.

Following completion of the topsides lifting campaign during 1Q for the Liza Unity, work continues on integration and commissioning, with first oil targeted for 2022.

The Fast4Ward hull for the FPSO Sepetiba was launched from drydock during 1Q. Module fabrication continues in China and Brazil. The planned completion of the FPSO project is at the end of 2022.

Topsides fabrication has started on the FPSO Prosperity at yards in Singapore, and the project is due to be completed in 2024. Guyanese companies have been awarded contracts and fabrication of FPSO components has started in Guyana, with Guyanese engineers also integrated into the project execution team.

Finally, engineering and procurement are progressing for the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré project offshore Brazil, due to be delivered in the second half of 2024.
