        意大利工程、钻井和建设服务巨头塞班姆已获得埃克森美孚圭亚那公司（总部位于美国的埃克森美孚的子公司）的批准，将继续推进其在圭亚那近海斯塔布鲁克区块海上石油项目中的数千万美元工作任务。

 

        随着埃克森美孚为其在圭亚那的第六个深水石油项目——耗资68亿美元的"锤头"开发项目——做出最终投资决定，塞班姆已获得授权，开始执行其价值约5亿美元的海上工程、采购、建设和安装合同相关工作，该合同是塞班姆为斯塔布鲁克区块锤头油田所赢得的。

 

        此前数月，这家意大利巨头已于2025年4月获得了有限开工通知，使其能够开始一些初步活动，例如详细设计和长周期设备的采购。随着必要的政府与监管批准以及项目的最终投资决定均已到位，该公司将继续执行合同规定的活动。

 

        塞班姆透露，海上作业目前计划于2028年开始，并详细说明其工作范围包括为距离圭亚那海岸约200公里的锤头油田开发项目，完成生产设施和天然气输出系统的海底、立管、出油管及脐带缆结构的工程、采购、建设和安装。

 

        该公司将使用多种建造和支持设备来执行这些作业，包括其船队中的塞班姆FDS2和"神达"号（一艘租赁船只）。根据该公司说法，所有物流工作将通过Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase基地在圭亚那完全执行和管理，为圭亚那人民创造就业和机会。

 

        埃克森美孚在圭亚那水域的第七个石油开发项目位于约1000米深的水域，投产后将每日增加12万至18万桶的产量，使该国的总产能到2029年达到近每日150万桶。

 

        据称，"锤头"项目协议加强了塞班姆在圭亚那的存在，因为埃克森美孚还雇佣了该公司参与其在该地区的其他六个开发项目：Liza一期和二期、Payara、Yellowtail、Uaru以及Whiptail。

 

        埃克森美孚是斯塔布鲁克区块的作业者，并持有45%的权益。其合作伙伴赫斯圭亚那勘探公司（现属雪佛龙的一部分）持有30%的权益，中海油圭亚那石油公司持有剩余的25%权益。

 

        作业者已选择MODEC公司为其在斯塔布鲁克区块的第七个项目开发一艘浮式生产储卸油装置。该装置将使用SOFEC的分散式系泊系统，系泊于区块东半部、乔治敦海岸东北约160公里处、约1025米水深的区域。

Saipem reinforces Guyana ties with $500 million job on ExxonMobil’s seventh oil project

 

Italy’s engineering, drilling, and construction services giant Saipem has received the green light to move forward with its multimillion-dollar assignment on an offshore oil project in the Stabroek block off the coast of Guyana from ExxonMobil Guyana, a subsidiary of the U.S.-headquartered ExxonMobil.

 

Following ExxonMobil’s final investment decision (FID) for the $6.8 billion Hammerhead development as the seventh deepwater oil project in Guyana, Saipem has secured authorization to proceed with the execution of activities related to its engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) offshore contract, worth approximately $500 million, which it won for work on the Hammerhead oil field in the Stabroek block.

 

This comes months after the Italian giant got the limited notice to proceed (LNTP) in April 2025, which enabled it to start some initial activities, such as detailed engineering and the procurement of long-lead equipment. With the necessary government and regulatory approvals, as well as of the final investment decision for the project out of the way, the firm will continue the execution of the contractual activities.

 

While disclosing that the offshore campaign is currently planned to begin during 2028, Saipem elaborates that its scope of work includes the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of subsea, umbilical, riser and flowline (SURF) structures for the production facility and the gas export system related to the Hammerhead oilfield development project about 200 kilometers from the Guyanese shore.

 

The company will carry out these operations using a variety of construction and support equipment, including Saipem FDS2 and Shen Da, which is part of its fleet as a chartered vessel. According to the firm, the logistics will be entirely executed and managed in Guyana through the Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase (VEHSI) yard, generating employment and opportunities for the Guyanese people.

 

Located at a depth of approximately 1,000 meters, ExxonMobil’s seventh oil development in Guyanese waters will add between 120,000 and 180,000 barrels per day (bpd), raising the country’s overall production capacity to nearly 1.5 million bpd once it comes online in 2029.

 

The Hammerhead deal is said to strengthen Saipem’s presence in Guyana, as ExxonMobil also hired the firm to work on its six other development projects in the same region: Liza Phase 1 and Phase 2, Payara, Yellowtail, Uaru, and Whiptail.

 

ExxonMobil is the operator and holds 45% interest in Guyana’s Stabroek block. The firm’s partners are Hess Guyana Exploration, now part of Chevron, has a 30% interest in the block, CNOOC Petroleum Guyana holds the remaining 25% stake.

 

The operator selected MODEC to develop an FPSO for its seventh project at the Stabroek block. This unit will be moored at a water depth of approximately 1,025 meters using a SOFEC spread mooring system in the eastern half of the block, around 160 kilometers northeast of the coastline of Georgetown.
