ABB supplying electrical, digital systems for Uaru FPSO offshore Guyana
Jan. 18, 2024
Offshore Frontier Solution has contracted ABB to provide the electrical systems and associated digital solutions for the FPSO for the Uaru oil development.
Errea Wittu will be the fifth floater on the Exxon Mobil-operated Stabroek Block, and it will operate about 200 km offshore. It will handle production from the Snoek, Mako and Uaru accumulations and should start service by 2026, with an initial oil production capacity of 250,000 bbl/d.
Its associated gas treatment capacity will be 540 MMcf/d.
ABB will supply a topside and hull electrical system to the vessel through a pre-built eHouse modular substation. This is designed to limit risk exposure and costs through commissioning, installing and testing all the electrical systems at the shipyard prior to deployment offshore.
In addition, the company will provide power management solutions to optimize energy efficiency and the availability of all electrical equipment.
This will be the company’s 14th collaboration with MODEC on FPSO projects offshore South America.
