FPSO ONE GUYANA (Yellowtail)

Yellowtail Field, ~200 km offshore Guyana

SBM Nauvata

Scope of Work

For the FPSO ONE GUYANA (Yellowtail) project, Nauvata was entrusted with the comprehensive engineering scope in collaboration with SBM Offshore. This included Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), detailed engineering, and procurement engineering support. The work was executed in close coordination with SBM’s Monaco and Schiedam offices, ensuring seamless integration across geographies. Nauvata’s team played a critical role in developing the topside design and systems integration for this high-capacity FPSO, which is designed to process 250,000 barrels of oil per day, treat 12 million cubic meters of gas per day, and inject 300,000 barrels of water per day, with 2 million barrels of crude storage capacity. Operating in ultra-deep waters (~1800 m) off the coast of Guyana, the FPSO is a vital asset in ExxonMobil’s Yellowtail development strategy.
