Chevron Sanctions Stampede Project in Deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico

摘要

Chevron Corporation's subsidiary, Union Oil Company of California, has reached a final investment decision to develop the Hess Corporation-operated Stampede project in the deep-water U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Stampede is a deepwater subsea development, which will be tied-back to a newly constructed tension leg platform (TLP). Houston-based Wood Group Mustang was awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) services contract for the project to be located in 3,500 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico. Modec International won the contract for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) management services for the hull and the mooring system of the Stampede TLP. The TLP, with dry topsides weight of 11,500 tons, is being designed to produce 80,000 bpd of oil, 60,000 bpd of water and 120 MMscf/d of gas at capacity.
