The opportunity forms part of preparations for the Hammerhead development, which is expected to begin operations in 2029. The RFI invites suppliers to submit information on their capabilities to support installation and connection of the FPSO mooring system, with MODEC Guyana noting that the scope covers activities required to position and secure the vessel offshore.
This includes “safety and quality management, engineering and preparations, supply of complete hook-up spread(s), supply of required equipment, tools and materials, mobilization and demobilization of hook-up spread(s), execution of the station keeping of the FPSO up to the storm safe condition, execution of the hook-up work of the FPSO’s mooring system, As-Found and As-Built survey of the moorings and provision of post-hook-up deliverables.”
The company noted that the hook-up campaign is expected to take place between July and September 2028.
Interested suppliers must complete the company’s pre-registration process through MODEC’s vendor portal before responding to the questionnaire. The company said vendors will receive confirmation once their expression of interest has been submitted and will be notified of any shortlisting decisions.
Responses must be submitted by June 11, 2026.
Hammerhead is one of several sanctioned projects in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana, where production is expected to rise to about 1.7 million barrels per day (b/d) by 2030.
The Hammerhead FPSO is designed to produce about oil at 150,000 b/d and handle associated gas and water. The development plan includes a pipeline connection to Guyana’s Gas-to-Energy system to transport gas to shore.
