FPSO to be connected to high-pressure subsea separation technology pilot project.

Using a new model, the federal agency said deepwater operations will drive the region's production to 1.9 million B/D next year.

Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.

Phase 2 of the fast-track project expected to quadruple output to 60,000 BOPD by year-end.

The deepwater Gulf of Mexico project in the Paleogene will require a 20K-psi production semisubmersible.

The operator remains on track to green light the nearby Kaskida find before year-end.

The largest project to date will add a capacity of 250,000 B/D starting in 2025.

Woodside Energy's Trion field offshore Mexico features a four-column semisubmersible FPU with a production capacity of 100,000 BOPD.

The facility is destined for Equinor's Brazilian pre-salt development.

Australian explorer purchases minority stakes in Who Dat and Dome Patrol deepwater fields.
