ABERDEEN, UK– Enpro Subsea has reached a master services agreement (MSA) with Kosmos Energy aimed at providing enhanced subsea architecture and smart standardization via Enpro’s flow access module (FAM) technology.
According to Enpro, FAM essentially creates an enhanced production ‘USB port’ within the jumper envelope. This enables the operator to use standard subsea christmas trees and manifolds, with FAM providing life of field flexibility within the system design, delivering ‘smart standardization’ and the capability to maximize the ultimate recovery from its subsea wells.
The Kosmos flow access modules are primarily being used to enable retrievable multi-phase metering within the jumper envelope between the XT and the manifold. The FAM technology simplifies the standard well jumper, enabling longer spans and reducing fatigue while enabling project-specific technologies (MPFM) retrievable independently of the jumper.
In addition, the technology enables a range of enhanced production options including water cut metering, flow assurance, hydraulic intervention and fluid sampling, allowing the operator to adapt the technology within the FAM to suit the needs of the reservoir.
The award is for 4x FAM systems, which will be installed on South Santa Cruz, Odd Job, Double Team, and Kodiak fields in thedeepwater Gulf of Mexico. This brings the total number of adopted FAM systems globally to more than 50, since the product was launched in 2015.
