Seatrium wins contract to construct Shell’s semi-submersible FPU

The FPU will produce 90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Shell awarded Seatrium a contract to construct and integrate the hull, topsides, and living quarters of the Sparta semi-submersible Floating Production Unit (FPU).

The contract includes the installation of Shell-furnished equipment following the Letter of Intent sealed by both parties on 28 August 2023.

The Sparta FPU will be situated in the Garden Banks area of the US Gulf of Mexico, approximately 275 kilometres (171 miles) off the coast of Louisiana.

It will feature a single topside bolstered by a four-column, semi-submersible floating hull designed to produce 90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

“We are fully committed to executing the project well, including the single lift operation and fabrication of the FPU to meet its 20,000-psi design for use in harsh weather conditions, and delivering the unit to Shell safely and efficiently,” William Gu, Executive Vice President and Head of Oil & Gas International of Seatrium said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
