BP PLC has let a contract to TechnipFMC to provide integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation services for the Atlantis Phase 3 project in the Gulf of Mexico. BP recently approved a $1.3-billion expansion at the field (OGJ Online, Jan. 8, 2019). BP operates Atlantis and holds 56% interest while BHP holds 44% interest. BHP has yet to commit to a final investment decision.
Following FIDs from all partners, TechnipFMC will manufacture, deliver, and install subsea equipment, including subsea tree systems, manifolds, flowline, umbilicals and subsea tree jumpers, pipeline end terminations, subsea distribution and topside control equipment. The contract includes provisional services for tooling and personnel.
Atlantis Phase 3 field, which lies 150 miles south of New Orleans in 2,100 m of water, will be tied back to the existing platform. It is scheduled to come on stream in 2020.
