Comments
This is FMC Technologies second full field development with
Shell utilizing subsea oil and gas separation and boosting,
following the award of the Shell BC-10 project in offshore Brazil.
The Perdido project will have a SPAR-based processing hub
moored in an estimated 2,400 m (7,874 ft) of water, making it the
deepest production SPAR in the world.
The Perdido project will utilize FMC’s globally managed product
standards, supporting manufacturing and supply networks, and
project management processes.
