Shell plc has let an integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation contract to TechnipFMC for the operator’s Dover development in the Gulf of Mexico.
TechnipFMC will supply the subsea tree systems in addition to the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the umbilical, riser, and flowline systems in a contract valued $75-250 million, according to the service provider's May 25 release.
Dover will tie back to the Appomattox platform in Mississippi Canyon, 170 miles southeast of New Orleans, where TechnipFMC previously supplied and installed the subsea production systems (OGJ Online, Mar. 16, 2023).
Dover will have two production wells producing through a 17.5-mile flowline and riser and is expected to produce up to 21,000 bo/d at peak rates.
Shell has 100% working interest in Dover and is operator at Appomattox with a 79% interest. Chinese National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) holds the remaining 21%.
