GATE Energy, the Houston-based engineering, commissioning and field services firm, has been awarded the commissioning management and execution contract for LLOG Exploration’s Salamanca development.
The scope of this work includes pre-commissioning and commissioning planning and execution at both the onshore fabrication site and offshore. The GATE commissioning team will also support initial start-up activities offshore.
Mark Myhre, president of GATE Commissioning, said: “This Salamanca award exemplifies our relationship and partnership with LLOG following our success on the Delta House project.
“GATE Energy continues to enjoy our strong position in the commissioning segment with 10 major deep-water commissioning projects awarded to us in just the past nine years. Our culture and backlog are strong, with the investment in our people and processes continuing to show dividends. We look forward to ensuring LLOG succeeds on Salamanca and are excited for the future of our people, clients, and industry.”
The Salamanca FPS will be located in Block 689 of the Keathley Canyon to tap into the Leon and Castile discoveries. The deep-water platform sits at approximately 6,400 ft, and is capable of producing 60,000 BOPD, 25,000 BWPD, and 40 MMSCFD of natural gas.
