TechnipFMC plc FTI has been awarded a substantial contract by London-based oil major Shell plc’s SHEL subsidiary, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (“SNEPCo”), to provide technological support in the subsea production for the development of the Bonga North project in Nigeria.
FTI’s contract with SNEPCo validates its position as a leading provider of technological and innovative solutions in the energy industry.
FTI’s Transformative Technology to Enhance Efficiency
FTI’s scope of work under this project is valued between $250 million and $500 million, highlighting its commitment to delivering technologically reliable and innovative subsea solutions. The company’s scope of work includes the design and manufacture of subsea tree systems, manifolds, jumpers, controls and services, and it will provide its best subsea expertise to ensure operational excellence.
FTI and SHEL’s Future Together
The Bonga North project has an estimated recoverable resource volume of more than 300 million barrels of oil equivalent. The project will also sustain the oil and gas production at the Nigerian facility and targets to achieve 110,000 barrels per day, with the first oil expected to be delivered by the end of the decade. The Shell-operated Bonga Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel plays a crucial role in sustaining the operations at the Bonga North field in Nigeria, highlighting the importance of collaboration with a leading technology-providing company like FTI.
Shell was the first company to adopt FTI’s subsea configuration solution and deploy it across multiple basins, strengthening FTI’s position to keep providing deepwater solutions in the region.
