Jumbo Offshore has completed mooring pre-installation activities for the FPSO Errea Wittu for Exxon Mobil Guyana Ltd. at Uaru Field, Stabroek Block, Offshore Guyana, on behalf of Modec. The scope of work included the installation of suction anchors and the pre-lay of mooring lines in preparation for FPSO hook-up.

Jumbo Offshore performed installation engineering, procurement, mobilisation and marshalling activities to support offshore installation. The offshore campaign was executed using Jumbo Offshore’s J-class installation vessel, Fairplayer. All operations were conducted in accordance with project requirements and applicable safety standards. 

Freek Muurling, Project Manager at Jumbo Offshore said, 
“I am very proud of the hard work and commitment shown by all Jumbo personnel and subcontractors during the preparation, mobilisation, and execution of this deepwater pre-lay mooring project. The team demonstrated full focus on engineering, procurement, documentation, and meticulous planning in sometimes challenging circumstances. The yard and offshore teams’ resilience and teamwork led to a safe and successful completion of the mooring line installation campaign.

I would also like to highlight the transparent and constructive communication between Jumbo, Modec, and Exxon, which created a strong working relationship and contributed greatly to moving the project forward safely and efficiently.”
