Seatrium Limited (Seatrium, or the Group) is pleased to
announce that it has signed a contract with BP Exploration and Production Inc (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 located in a water depth of approximately 6,000 feet.
The Kaskida FPU has a 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. Seatrium is
well-recognised for its industry-leading approach in assembling topsides safely and efficiently
at ground level. This method supports optimal readiness, thereby reducing safety risks during
assembling topsides and enhancing overall project efficiency.
Mr William Gu, Executive Vice President, Energy (International) of Seatrium, said, “We would
like to thank bp for entrusting Seatrium with this milestone project and look forward to
establishing a long-term relationship with bp. We are fully committed to successfully executing
the project and delivering the Kaskida FPU safely and on time, marking our fourth successful
FPU project for the region.
