Woodside subcontractor lets Trion subsea pre-commissioning contract
Key Highlights
- Woodside subcontractor Subsea7 let a subsea pre-commissioning contract to EnerMech for the Trion development offshore Mexico.
- Trion is Mexico’s first ultra-deepwater oil development project.
Woodside subcontractor Subsea7 let a subsea precommissioning contract to EnerMech for the Trion development 180 km offshore Mexico.
Trion lies in the Perdido Fold Belt at depths in 2,500–2,600 m of water and is Mexico’s first ultra-deepwater oil development comprising 24 subsea wells connected to a new floating production unit (FPU) and FSO.
Under the new award, EnerMech will deliver a package spanning flooding, cleaning, gauging, hydrotesting, nitrogen dewatering services, and pre‑commissioning activities aligned with Subsea7’s SURF installation program. The work will be supported from EnerMech’s Houston base and its location in Villahermosa, Mexico.
EnerMech will deploy its pre‑commissioning spreads, ensuring equipment availability, eliminating rental delays and protecting vessel utilization. Embedded project planners and engineers will work directly with Subsea7’s teams to optimize sequencing, minimize SIMOPS impacts and safeguard the offshore critical path.
Trion is targeting 479 MMboe of best estimate (2C) contingent oil and gas.
Woodside is operator at Trion (60%) with partner PEMEX Exploración y Producción (40%).
