MODEC officially announced the start of the construction of the FPSO Errea Wittu, in a ceremony that marked the beginning of the works.

Located in the Uaru area, this new venture is valued at US$ 12.7 billion and is part of ExxonMobil’s commitment to expanding its operations in the region.

During the ceremony, MODEC emphasized its collaboration with ExxonMobil Guyana and partnership with Guyanese companies, such as Asequith Group of Companies, Guyana Oil & Gas Support Services, and Zeco Group of Services Inc.

These partnerships highlight MODEC’s role in stimulating the development of the region’s FPSO market.

FPSO Errea Wittu Will Be Key to ExxonMobil’s Project in Guyana

The FPSO Errea Wittu will be essential for the development of ExxonMobil’s Uaru project, expected to start in 2026.

With a capacity to store 2 million barrels of oil and produce about 250 thousand barrels per day, the vessel will be equipped to process 540 million cubic feet of gas per day and perform water injection at a rate of 350 thousand barrels per day.

In addition to announcing the start of the construction phase of the FPSO, MODEC highlighted the significance of February as an important month in its expansion journey, also marked by the announcement of its office in Guyana.

The company considers this move essential as a demonstration of its commitment to the country.

Meanwhile, ExxonMobil plans to operate six FPSOs in the Stabroek block by the end of 2027. The oil company’s plan aims to explore resources estimated at more than 11 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Katsuyuki Imaizumi, Operations Director of MODEC, expressed enthusiasm regarding the Uaru project as a symbol of ExxonMobil’s commitment to the region.

The FPSO Errea Wittu will be key on this path and is already being prepared for the start of operations.
