The FPSO Is Designed to Produce 220,000 Barrels of Oil and 400 Million Cubic Feet Treated Daily
The Dutch company SBM Offshore began construction of the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Unit (FPSO) of Liza Unity after the Final Investment Decision (FID) by ExxonMobil on the development of phase 2 of Liza in May 2019. The relationship between SBM Offshore and ExxonMobil has been well established for over four decades.
This follows the recent delivery of its sister FPSO, Liza Destiny, which arrived in the waters of Guyana from a shipyard in Singapore at the end of August 2019.

In May of this year, SBM Offshore announced the awarding of contracts for the next phase of the Liza project in Guyana. Under these contracts, SBM Offshore will build, install, and subsequently lease and operate the FPSO Liza Unity for up to two years.
“The design of the Liza Unity FPSO is based on the industry-leading Fast4Ward® program, featuring a new multifunctional hull combined with several standardized modules on the sides. Leveraging SBM Offshore’s Fast4Ward program with the experience gained on Liza Destiny allowed the FPSO design teams to accelerate Liza Unity,” the company stated.
The Liza Unity FPSO will be the largest capacity FPSO the Company has ever delivered and the first to be constructed under the Fast4Ward® program.
“SBM Offshore’s Fast4Ward® philosophy has transitioned from plan to reality, with the first standard hull now allocated,” said CEO Bruno Chabas in May.
The FPSO is designed to produce 220,000 barrels of oil per day, with associated gas treatment capacity of 400 million cubic feet per day and water injection capacity of 250,000 barrels per day.
The FPSO will be moored in a water depth of about 1,600 meters and will be capable of storing approximately 2 million barrels of crude oil.
The Liza field is located in the Stabroek block, about 200 kilometers from Guyana. EEPGL is the operator and holds a 45% stake in the Stabroek block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds a 30% stake and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited holds a 25% stake.
