ExxonMobil OKs MODEC for Guyana Hammerhead FPSO FEED

According to the EIA, the development plan calls for drilling 14 to 30 production and water-injection wells; installing and operating subsea umbilical, riser, and flowline (SURF) equipment that will connect the FPSO to the wells; using an FPSO to process, store, and offload the recovered oil; and installing a 13-km gas export pipeline from the FPSO to a tie-in on the Gas to Energy pipeline. The EIA said subsea components are expected to be installed in 2028, with FPSO installation and commissioning expected the same year.

ExxonMobil Secures Sixth CO2 Customer in Calpine

This agreement makes Calpine the sixth CCS customer of ExxonMobil, bringing the latter’s total amount of CO2 under contract to about 16 MTA, ExxonMobil said. The CO2 from Calpine’s facility will tie into ExxonMobil’s CO2 pipeline system, the largest in the world, which is strategically located along the U.S. Gulf Coast and supports enhanced oil recovery as well as permanent CO2 sequestration, according to ExxonMobil.

MODEC secures ExxonMobil contract for Hammerhead FPSO in Guyana

The contract, issued as a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP), allows MODEC to begin early-phase work on the FPSO while awaiting regulatory and government approvals. Phase one of the project will involve front-end engineering and design (FEED), followed by engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) in phase two—pending final project sanction by ExxonMobil Guyana and its Stabroek Block co-venturers.

The Hammerhead FPSO will have a production capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil per day, along with processing facilities for associated gas and water. It will be moored in approximately 1,025 meters of water using a SOFEC spread mooring system.

The LNTP enables MODEC to begin FPSO design activities to support an early project startup target of 2029, should approvals move forward.
