Fossil Energy – Shenandoah FPS
On December 13, 2024, the Shenandoah floating production system (Shenandoah FPS) sailed away from HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea, and is currently in transit to the US Gulf of Mexico.
The Shenandoah FPS is scheduled to arrive at Kiewit Offshore Services’ fabrication yard in Ingleside, TX in the middle of February for limited final preparations and regulatory inspections to be followed by wet tow and offshore installation at the Shenandoah Walker Ridge project site.
The 25,000 metric ton Shenandoah FPS will be placed into service with a nameplate capacity of 120,000 bopd. Mooring pile installation has been completed with infield pipelay activities to be performed in the first quarter of 2025.
The 102-mile, 18-inch SYNC oil export pipeline installation and associated upgrades to the CHOPS GB 72 platform have been completed. Rig operations are underway for the completion of the second of four Phase 1 producing wells, with rig flowback operations to be conducted in the first quarter of 2025, followed by completion operations on the final two Phase 1 producing wells.
First oil for Shenandoah remains on track for the second quarter of 2025.
