EnerMech Secures Contract for Pre-Commissioning Services at Salamanca Platform
UK-based oilfield services provider EnerMech has been awarded a contract by LLOG Exploration, an oil and gas firm, for pre-commissioning services at the Salamanca platform located in the US part of the Gulf of Mexico.
The scope of the contract includes hydrotesting and nitrogen dewatering of three eight-inch infield flowlines, one 16-inch oil export pipeline, and one 10-inch gas export pipeline.
This contract win follows a previous agreement for topside pre-commissioning services, secured by EnerMech in 2024.
The Salamanca FPU, a refurbished structure of the previously decommissioned Independence Hub production facility, will be operating at a depth of approximately 1,950 meters of water and will be responsible for producing hydrocarbons from the Leon and Castille fields.
With an initial production capacity of 60,000 barrels of oil per day and 40 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, the Salamanca platform is poised to make a significant impact in the region’s energy sector.
In recent months, EnerMech has been actively involved in various projects, including being selected by Dutch floater expert SBM Offshore for pre-commissioning work on the One Guyana FPSO for ExxonMobil and winning a three-year cranes and lifting services contract for the FPSO Anasuria in the UK North Sea.
