    bp took FID in July on the Kaskida project in the US Gulf of Mexico.

    Seatrium has signed a contract with bp Exploration and Production to perform engineering, procurement, construction and onshore commissioning (EPC) work for the Kaskida floating production unit (FPU) project in the US Gulf of Mexico.  

    The Kaskida greenfield development, for which bp took FID in July, is located about 250 miles southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the Keathley Canyon area. 

    Comprising a single topside module supported by a four-column semisubmersible hull, the Kaskida FPU is supported by subsea production wells in a water depth of about 6,000 ft. 

    The Kaskida FPU has a capacity to produce 80,000 bbl/d of crude oil from six wells in the first phase of development.

    The topsides for Kaskida will be integrated and lifted to the hull using Seatrium’s Goliath twin cranes with a combined lifting capacity of 30,000 tonnes.
