FMC bags contract for Shell's deepwater Appomattox development
HOUSTON -- FMC Technologies has received an award from Shell Offshore for its Appomattox deepwater development in the Gulf of Mexico.
FMC will provide enhanced vertical deepwater trees, subsea manifolds, topside controls, a control system, and a distribution system for the field, which lies in the Mississippi Canyon area of the eastern Gulf of Mexico in 7,200 ft of water, 140 nautical miles southeast of New Orleans.
"FMC Technologies has supported Shell's subsea requirements for more than two decades, and this project represents the continued strength of that relationship," Tore Halvorsen, senior V.P., Subsea Technologies, said.
