Technip Energies in partnership with SBM Offshore, has been awarded a major(1)
contract by TotalEnergies for the GranMorgu Floating Production, Storage and Offloading
vessel (FPSO) in Suriname.
Under this contract, the joint-venture between SBM Offshore and Technip Energies will
construct and install a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO), leveraging
Technip Energies’ expertise in engineering and modularization for the topsides and SBM
Offshore’s Fast4Ward® hull.
Thanks to the joint expertise of the two companies, the project will be designed to minimize
greenhouse gas emissions. It will include an all-electric drive FPSO configuration, with zero
routine flaring and full reinjection of associated gas into the reservoirs. There will be an
optimized power usage with Waste Heat Recovery Units and optimized water cooling for
improved efficiency. A permanent methane detection and monitoring system will be installed
relying on a network of sensors.
Marco Villa, Chief Business Officer of Technip Energies commented: “We are delighted to
have been chosen by TotalEnergies, together with our partner SBM Offshore, for the
GranMorgu FPSO project in Suriname. By utilizing our modularization expertise, we will design
the topsides of this all-electric drive FPSO and oversee the fabrication process in collaboration
with our partner. This award highlights Technip Energies’ established capability to incorporate
technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in any type of industrial installation.”
This project is the first FPSO project in Suriname and is located in Block 58, circa 150
kilometers offshore Suriname.
(1) A “major” award for Technip Energies is a contract award representing above €1 billion of
