Seatrium Limited said it got a job to integrate the topsides for the Errea Wittu floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. Offshore Frontier Solutions Pte. Ltd., a MODEC Group Company, issued the award.
The contract scope of work covers the installation and integration of topside modules onboard the FPSO, and includes completion and commissioning support for MODEC.
Marlin Khiew, Executive Vice President, Oil & Gas (Americas) of Seatrium, said, “We are pleased to be working with our longstanding customer, MODEC, on yet another FPSO topsides integration project, solidifying our position as the industry leader in FPSO conversions.”

The FPSO Errea Wittu will be deployed in the Uaru area of the Stabroek Block, approximately 200 kilometers offshore Guyana. The Errea Wittu is expected to target an initial oil production rate of 250,000 barrels of oil per day (b/d), water injection capacity of 350,000 b/d, 540 million cubic feet per day (mcf/d) of gas production and a storage capacity of two million barrels of oil.
Errea Wittu will be the fifth FPSO to be deployed offshore Guyana, and will lift total oil production over 1.1 million b/d. ExxonMobil is the operator of the Stabroek Block, where all the currently sanctioned FPSOs will be placed. Its 45% stake is joined by Hess’ 30% stake and CNOOC’s 25%.

Seatrium said it has built a strong track record in the FPSO space, including delivering a significant number of FPSO projects for MODEC since its first FPSO conversion Whakaaropai in 1996.
The Seatrium Group is currently undertaking integration work for FPSO Bacalhau, which will be operating in the Bacalhau field, Santos Basin, offshore Brazil. Separately, BrasFELS, Seatrium’s yard in Angra dos Reis, Brazil, is also currently executing topside modules fabrication for FPSO Raia.
