EnerMech has been awarded a major contract by Subsea7 to support the Trion ultra-deepwater oil development offshore Mexico, reinforcing its presence in the Americas and expertise in complex offshore projects.
The Trion field, located 180km offshore in the Perdido Fold
Belt at depths of 2,500–2,600 meters, is Mexico’s first ultra-deepwater oil
development.
Operated by Woodside with PEMEX as partner, it includes 24
subsea wells tied back to a Floating Production Unit (FPU) and FSO.
Given its scale and complexity, the project requires
advanced engineering, strict scheduling, and deepwater technical assurance.
EnerMech will deliver a comprehensive pre-commissioning
scope, including flooding, cleaning, gauging, hydrotesting, nitrogen
dewatering, and other pre-commissioning services aligned with Subsea7’s SURF
installation programme.
The work will be executed through its Houston base and
Villahermosa facility in Mexico, ensuring efficient logistics and rapid
deployment of resources.
Building on prior Gulf of Mexico experience and successful
collaboration with Subsea7, EnerMech will deploy dedicated pre-commissioning
spreads to avoid delays, ensure equipment readiness, and protect vessel utilisation.
Embedded engineers
and planners will work closely with Subsea7 to optimise execution, reduce
operational clashes, and maintain the project’s critical offshore schedule.
Charles
Davison, EnerMech CEO , said: “This is an exciting award for
EnerMech. Trion is a strategically important development for Mexico and for the
wider region, and we’re proud to support Subsea7 with the
technical capability, equipment and execution certainty required to
deliver safely, efficiently and on schedule.”
Nuno de Sousa, SVP Energy Solutions, added: “Our team brings extensive deepwater experience, proven Gulf of Mexico delivery, and a robust equipment portfolio designed for ultra‑deepwater performance. This contract reflects the value of our longstanding relationship with Subsea7 and our shared commitment to excellence.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
