Fossil Energy – Commissioning FPU
Houston-based Gate Energy has secured the commissioning contract for the Woodside Trion floating production unit (FPU) project by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. (HHI).
Gate’s scope includes pre-commissioning and commissioning planning and execution at HHI’s fabrication yard in Ulsan, South Korea.
The Woodside Trion FPU project will take the company to offshore Mexico for the first time, extending its reach in the international energy market.
“We are excited to build on our prior working relationship with HHI and our footprints in South Korea, Mexico, and the United States to support delivery of the first oil production facility for Mexico’s deepwater acreage in the Gulf of Mexico”, Gate CEO Lee Jordan said. “This will represent a substantial milestone for Woodside and is a key step in unlocking the full potential of the basin for the Mexican people”.
The Trion deepwater development is located in the Gulf of Mexico in the Perdido Fold Belt with water depths ranging up to 8,200 feet. The FPU will be constructed in South Korea with first oil targeted for 2028.
