The Sub­sea In­te­gra­tion Al­liance (SIA) has been award­ed the en­gi­neer­ing, pro­cure­ment, con­struc­tion, and in­stal­la­tion (EP­CI) con­tract for the BP’s Gin­ger project which is lo­cat­ed off­shore Trinidad and To­ba­go.

In a no­tice this week, Sub­sea7 said the Gin­ger project is a no­table project award un­der the new glob­al frame­work agree­ment be­tween BP and Sub­sea In­te­gra­tion Al­liance part­ners SLB One­Sub­sea and Sub­sea7.

Sub­sea7 said, “This agree­ment es­tab­lish­es a new way of work­ing that en­ables sys­tem-lev­el op­ti­mi­sa­tion through in­creased trans­paren­cy and ear­ly en­gage­ment. The frame­work al­so de­fines a nov­el com­mer­cial mod­el that ef­fec­tive­ly aligns in­cen­tives for ac­cel­er­at­ed and max­imised val­ue cre­ation among all stake­hold­ers in­volved, through­out the life of joint projects.”

Craig Brous­sard, se­nior vice pres­i­dent for Sub­sea7 for Gulf of Mex­i­co said, “This is a sig­nif­i­cant project for the re­gion, and one which will ben­e­fit from decades of col­lab­o­ra­tion be­tween bp, Sub­sea7, and SLB One­Sub­sea. Our com­bined ex­per­tise and ef­forts are fo­cused on achiev­ing bp’s goal of first gas in 2026.”

Olivi­er Blar­inghem, CEO of Sub­sea In­te­gra­tion Al­liance said, “This is an ex­cit­ing and im­por­tant project for our nov­el glob­al frame­work with bp, which ex­pands our EP­CI col­lab­o­ra­tion to Trinidad and To­ba­go. Through the ca­pa­bil­i­ty and agili­ty of our part­ners Sub­sea7 and SLB One­Sub­sea, we pro­vide key as­sets and ex­per­tise to cre­ate val­ue for the long-term and de­liv­er the best pos­si­ble to­tal cost of own­er­ship on the Gin­ger project.”

The com­pa­ny added, “For the Gin­ger EP­CI project, Sub­sea7 will sup­ply a div­er-in­stalled tie-in sys­tem, a flex­i­ble pro­duc­tion flow­line, and as­so­ci­at­ed in­fra­struc­ture. SLB One­Sub­sea will de­liv­er four stan­dard­ised ver­ti­cal mono­bore sub­sea trees and tub­ing hang­ers, op­ti­mised for speed of de­liv­ery and in­stal­la­tion. It will al­so de­liv­er the first high-in­tegri­ty pres­sure pro­tec­tion sys­tem (HIPPS) man­i­fold in the re­gion, which will un­lock con­sid­er­able safe­ty, ef­fi­cien­cy and en­vi­ron­men­tal gains.

“BP’s Gin­ger de­vel­op­ment is lo­cat­ed off the south­east coast of the is­land of Trinidad, at wa­ter depths of up to 90 me­tres.”

The an­nounce­ment stat­ed that project man­age­ment and en­gi­neer­ing ac­tiv­i­ties will be­gin im­me­di­ate­ly at Sub­sea7’s of­fice in Hous­ton, Texas, with off­shore op­er­a­tions sched­uled for 2026.
