General – Tiber Project
Seatrium has been awarded a contract from bp for the engineering, procurement, construction and onshore commissioning of the Tiber Floating Production Unit (FPU) project in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Tiber FPU marks Seatrium’s second consecutive deepwater project for bp, further strengthening the relationship established through the award of the Kaskida FPU in December 2024.
William Gu, Executive Vice President of Seatrium said: “The Tiber FPU award marks a significant milestone in our relationship with bp and underscores the strength of our series-build approach for the Gulf of America production units. It also highlights Seatrium’s expanding foothold in the FPU segment, delivering exceptional quality and efficiency with uncompromising safety through maximum on-ground completion and single-lift capability. Drawing on lessons learned from our growing portfolio of FPU projects, we will continue to translate experience into execution excellence. Our commitment remains steadfast in supporting bp’s offshore developments.”
The Tiber FPU will have a production capacity of 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day, incorporating advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and safety.
It will produce from the Tiber and Guadalupe fields in the Keathley Canyon area of the Gulf of America, about 300 miles southwest of New Orleans, in water depths of around 4,100 feet.
Over 85% of the Tiber FPU design will replicate the Kaskida FPU, enabling Seatrium to capitalise on established design efficiencies and apply lessons learned and best practices for enhanced project execution.
