Jumbo Offshore has completed mooring pre-installation activities for the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Errea Wittu at the Uaru Field in the Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana.
The company announced on February 12 that the work was executed for Exxon Mobil Guyana Limited on behalf of MODEC.
The scope included the installation of suction anchors and the pre-lay of mooring lines ahead of FPSO hook-up. Jumbo Offshore said it carried out installation engineering, procurement, mobilisation and marshalling to support the offshore campaign. The work was performed using its J-class installation vessel Fairplayer. Operations were conducted in line with project requirements and applicable safety standards.

Freek Muurling, Project Manager at Jumbo Offshore, said, “I am very proud of the hard work and commitment shown by all Jumbo personnel and subcontractors during the preparation, mobilisation, and execution of this deepwater pre-lay mooring project. The team demonstrated full focus on engineering, procurement, documentation, and meticulous planning in sometimes challenging circumstances.”
MODEC is constructing the Errea Wittu FPSO for the Uaru development. The vessel will process and store crude from the Uaru field once operations commence.
