Fossil Energy – FPU
Seatrium has signed a contract with BP Exploration and Production (bp) to perform engineering, procurement, construction and onshore commissioning (EPC) work for the Kaskida Floating Production Unit (FPU) project in the US Gulf of Mexico.
The Kaskida project is a greenfield development located approximately 250 miles southwest of New Orleans, in the Keathley Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico. Comprising a single topside module supported by a four-column semi-submersible hull, the Kaskida FPU is supported by subsea production wells in a water depth of approximately 6,000 feet.
The Kaskida FPU has the capacity to produce 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day from six wells in the first phase of development. The topsides for Kaskida will be integrated and lifted to the hull using Seatrium’s gamechanging Goliath twin cranes with a combined lifting capacity of 30,000 tonnes.
