TechnipFMC has secured a subsea contract for the Chevron-operated Gorgon Stage 3 gas development project in Australia. The contract's value is estimated to be between US$75 million and US$250 million, which is a revision from a previous company estimate in July that placed the value between US$250 million and US$500 million.

Scope of Work and Technology

The contract is notable for being the first to utilize TechnipFMC's seven-inch series of its Subsea 2.0 horizontal subsea trees. Additionally, the company will supply flexible jumpers, which are designed to enhance production rates and ensure flow assurance for the gas applications.

Project Background and Objectives

The Gorgon Stage 3 project, which received a final investment decision from Chevron and its partners on 4 December, represents a US$2 billion development. The project's objective is to connect the offshore Geryon and Eurytion gas fields, located in the Greater Gorgon Area, to the existing Gorgon subsea gas gathering network. This will feed gas to the processing and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities situated on Barrow Island, off the coast of Western Australia.
