ExxonMobil has let a contract to Strohm BV for its thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) jumper on demand service for Uaru field in Stabroek block, offshore Guyana.

The jumpers are made from carbon fiber and PA12 polymer and will be installed in deep water at depths over 1,700 m. They will be subject to about 10,000 psi operating pressure.

The jumpers will be used for water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection and will be supplied in a single continuous length along with associated pipe handling equipment. The longer lengths can be cut to desired length, terminated, and tested onsite in Guyana.

This latest award follows a TCP jumper on demand contract awarded a year ago for the Yellowtail development, also offshore Guyana.

ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd. is operator of the 6.6-million-acre Stabroek block with 45% interest. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds 30% and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Ltd. holds 25%.
