Technip Energies awarded major contract by TotalEnergies for Suriname GrandMorgu FPSO topsides

Technip Energies, in partnership with SBM Offshore, has been awarded a major¹ 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.

“We are delighted to have been chosen by TotalEnergies, together with our partner SBM Offshore, for the GranMorgu FPSO project in Suriname,” said Marco Villa, Chief Business Officer of Technip Energies. “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.
