Seatrium wins contract to construct Shell’s semi-submersible FPU

The FPU will produce 90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Shell awarded Seatrium a contract to construct and integrate the hull, topsides, and living quarters of the Sparta semi-submersible Floating Production Unit (FPU).

The contract includes the installation of Shell-furnished equipment following the Letter of Intent sealed by both parties on 28 August 2023.

The Sparta FPU will be situated in the Garden Banks area of the US Gulf of Mexico, approximately 275 kilometres (171 miles) off the coast of Louisiana.

It will feature a single topside bolstered by a four-column, semi-submersible floating hull designed to produce 90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

“We are fully committed to executing the project well, including the single lift operation and fabrication of the FPU to meet its 20,000-psi design for use in harsh weather conditions, and delivering the unit to Shell safely and efficiently,” William Gu, Executive Vice President and Head of Oil & Gas International of Seatrium said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
