Name and Location
Delta House field development project, US Gulf of Mexico.

Client
LLOG Exploration Offshore.

Project Description
The core of the Delta House field development will include a new semisubmersible floating production system (FPS), located in the Mississippi Canyon 254 area of the US Gulf of Mexico, which will have a production handling capacity of 100 000 bbl/d of oil, 240-million cubic feet a day of gas and 40 000 bbl/d of water.

Bulk oil and gas production from three separate subsea systems that can support up to 16 wells will flow to the FPS for separation and processing.

Plans are to drill and complete six subsea wells prior to start up.
Oil and gas export pipelines that will be more than 49 km long will transport production from the field to existing pipeline infrastructure.

Value
The project will cost more than $2-billion to develop.

Duration
Commercial operation is expected to start in 2015.

Latest Developments
Technip has been awarded a contract for the development of the Delta House field.

The contract covers the project management, engineering, fabrication, installation and precommissioning of more than 200 km of infield and export flowlines and risers at depths of between 100 m and 2 000 m.
Technip’s operating centre in Houston, Texas, will perform the overall project management.

The infield flowlines and risers will be welded at the group’s spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama.

The offshore installation is expected to be performed in the second half of 2014 by vessels from Technip’s fleet – the Deep Blue vessel will lay the deepwater infield lines, while the G1200 construction vessel will install the export flowlines.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
Technip (project management, engineering, fabrication, installation and precommissioning of flowlines).
