Seatrium Limited (Seatrium, or the Group) has signed a contract with BP Exploration and Production Inc (bp) to perform engineering, procurement, construction and onshore commissioning (EPC) work for the Kaskida Floating Production Unit (FPU) project in the US Gulf of Mexico.
The Kaskida project is a greenfield development located approximately 250 miles southwest of New Orleans, in the Keathley Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico. Comprising a single topside module supported by a four-column semi-submersible hull, the Kaskida FPU is supported by subsea production wells located in a water depth of approximately 6000 ft. The Kaskida FPU has a capacity to produce 80 000 bpd of crude oil from six wells in the first phase of development.
The topsides for Kaskida will be integrated and lifted to the hull using Seatrium’s game-changing Goliath twin cranes with a combined lifting capacity of 30 000 t. Seatrium is well recognised for its industry-leading approach in assembling topsides safely and efficiently at ground level. This method supports optimal readiness, thereby reducing safety risks during assembling topsides and enhancing overall project efficiency.
