TechnipFMC 于 2 月 15 日宣布，壳牌授予TechnipFMC一份合同，为壳牌深水 Sparta 开发项目制造和安装海底生产系统、脐带缆、立管和出油管。

Sparta 是壳牌在墨西哥湾 (GoM) 的第一个利用 20,000 psi 古近纪油藏的项目。

综合工程、采购、施工和安装 (iEPCI) 合同价值 2.5 亿至 5 亿美元，适用于额定压力高达 20,000 psi 的系统。据 TechnipFMC 称，该采油树系统将是壳牌首个获得 20K 应用资格的系统，其设计旨在满足绿地开发的高压要求。

壳牌于 12 月对该项目做出了最终投资决定，1 月，Seatrium 宣布已赢得生产半潜式钻井平台船体、上部设施和生活区的建造和集成合同。

Sparta 半潜式钻井平台将安装在墨西哥湾花园银行 (Garden Banks) 区域水深 4,700 英尺的地方。

壳牌运营的 Sparta 最初由Cobalt Energy于 2012 年发现 ，代表合作伙伴 Equinor 持有 49% 的权益，持有 51% 的权益。

Shell awarded TechnipFMC a contract to manufacture and install subsea production systems, umbilicals, risers and flowlines for Shell’s deepwater Sparta development, TechnipFMC announced Feb. 15.

Sparta is Shell’s first Gulf of Mexico (GoM) project to tap into the 20,000 psi Paleogene reservoir.

The integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (iEPCI) contract, valued between $250 million and $500 million, is for systems rated up to 20,000 psi. According to TechnipFMC, the tree systems will be Shell’s first to be qualified for 20K applications and are engineered to meet the high-pressure requirements of the greenfield development.

Shell reached final investment decision on the project in December and in January, Seatrium announced it had won a construction and integration contract for the production semisubmersible’s hull, topsides and living quarters.

The Sparta semisubmersible will be installed in the Garden Banks area of the GoM in 4,700 ft water depth.

Shell operates Sparta, which was originally discovered in 2012 by Cobalt Energy, with 51% interest on behalf of partner Equinor with 49% interest.
