Subsea 7 has announced that the Subsea Integration Alliance (SIA) was awarded the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract for the bp Ginger project, offshore Trinidad and Tobago.
According to the company, the Ginger project is a notable project award under the new global framework agreement between bp and Subsea Integration Alliance partners SLB OneSubsea and Subsea7.
Subsea 7 indicated that this agreement establishes a new way of working that enables system-level optimisation through increased transparency and early engagement. The framework also defines a novel commercial model that effectively aligns incentives for accelerated and maximised value creation among all stakeholders involved, throughout the life of joint projects.
For the Ginger EPCI project, Subsea7 will supply a diver-installed tie-in system, a flexible production flowline, and associated infrastructure. SLB OneSubsea will deliver four standardised vertical monobore subsea trees and tubing hangers, optimised for speed of delivery and installation. It will also deliver the first high-integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) manifold in the region, which will unlock considerable safety, efficiency and environmental gains. bp’s Ginger development is located off the southeast coast of the island of Trinidad, at water depths of up to 90 metres.
Project management and engineering activities will begin immediately at Subsea7's office in Houston, Texas, with offshore operations scheduled for 2026.
Craig Broussard, Senior Vice President for Subsea7 for Gulf of Mexico said, “This is a significant project for the region, and one which will benefit from decades of collaboration between bp, Subsea7, and SLB OneSubsea. Our combined expertise and efforts are focused on achieving bp's goal of first gas in 2026.”
Olivier Blaringhem, CEO of Subsea Integration Alliance said, “This is an exciting and important project for our novel global framework with bp, which expands our EPCI collaboration to Trinidad and Tobago. Through the capability and agility of our partners Subsea7 and SLB OneSubsea, we provide key assets and expertise to create value for the long-term and deliver the best possible total cost of ownership on the Ginger project.”
