Beacon Offshore lets subsea contract for Shenandoah development

Beacon Offshore Energy LLC has let a subsea contract to Trendsetter Engineering Inc. for development of the US Gulf of Mexico Shenandoah project.

The award includes a multi-year rental and servicing agreement for provision of a 20,000-psi high pressure high temperature (HPHT) subsea well intervention package with anticipated delivery in third quarter 2023. This award follows previously awarded scopes for the initial design and qualification of the system.

The system facilitates hydraulic riserless light well and risered medium well subsea intervention operations and is available in both 6 ⅜-in. size with 15,000 psi rating and 5⅛-in. size with 20,000 psi rating.

Earlier this year, Trendsetter was awarded component contracts for Shenandoah which included subsea production and export equipment, a six-slot production manifold, subsea valves, and connectors.

Shenandoah lies 160 miles off the coast of Louisiana in Walker Ridge Blocks 51, 52, and 53. It is expected to come online as early as late 2024. Multiple wells are expected to develop an estimated 100-400 million bbl, targeting previously discovered oil-bearing Upper and Lower Wilcox reservoirs. The project covers the tie-back of four subsea wells to the Shenandoah host infrastructure through a subsea manifold with dual flowlines and risers (OGJ Online Jan. 26, 2022).
