Fossil Energy – FPU for Shell
Seatrium in Singapore has successfully commenced the steel fabrication for Sparta, the third semi-submersible Floating Production Unit (FPU) for Shell.
The Sparta FPU, a close replica of its predecessors the Shell Vito and Whale FPUs, will leverage operational synergies by replicating the safe and efficient on-ground commissioning before the single-lift integration method for the topsides.
When completed, Sparta will be situated in the Garden Banks area of the US Gulf of Mexico, and is expected to produce 90,000 boe/d.
