Mooring systems provider SOFEC has cut first steel for the turret mooring system being built for the FPSO set for the Sangomar field offshore Senegal.
SOFEC said that first steel for the Sangomar FPSO turret mooring system was cut on 26 December 2020.
The FPSO will be deployed approximately 100 kilometres south of Dakar and will be Senegal’s first offshore oil development. The FPSO is scheduled for delivery to support the production of first oil in 2023 and will be moored in approximately 780 metres water depth.
To remind, MODEC signed a contract with Woodside to supply an FPSO vessel for the Sangomar field development Phase 1 project back in January 2020.
SOFEC further states that it was responsible for all EPC activities related to the external turret mooring system and its ancillary components. According to the company, SOFEC will assist in turret integration and associated offshore hookup and commissioning activities which are planned to be carried out in 2023.
