ExxonMobil is forging ahead to meet its gas-to-shore pipeline completion target by the end of this year as the shut-down of two Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels in July to facilitate the pipe tie-in was completed and production offshore back to normal.
“We carried out shutdowns of the Liza Unity and Liza Destiny FPSOs to integrate pipelines essential for the gas-to-energy project, aligning with our work plans and forecasts for 2024. The Unity FPSO’s temporary halt began in early July and was concluded by mid-July, while the Destiny FPSO’s stoppage began in mid-July, finishing in early August,” ExxonMobil said in response to questions from Stabroek News.
“…Both FPSOs have resumed their normal operations and are running at full production levels,” the company explained. “The core purpose of the shutdowns was to install a GtE export riser on each FPSO, a process that involved laying deepwater pipelines and attaching them to the vessels.”
