February 4, 2025 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Baker Hughes, a leading energy technology company, has been awarded a significant contract by ExxonMobil Guyana to provide speciality chemicals and related services for the Uaru and Whiptail offshore greenfield developments in the Stabroek Block. The announcement was made during Baker Hughes’ 25th Annual Meeting in Florence, Italy.
The multi-year agreement covers all topsides, subsea, water injection, and utility chemicals for the Errea Wittu and Jaguar floating production storage and offloading vessels. Both vessels are currently under development, with production targeted to commence in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Leveraging extensive experience in Guyana, Baker Hughes has established local supply chains to ensure a reliable and efficient source of chemicals tailored to the specific requirements of these projects.
ExxonMobil Guyana and Baker Hughes share a long history of supporting Guyana’s energy sector, and we look forward to working together to write its next chapter,” stated Amerino Gatti, executive vice president of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes. “Our experience operating across the country’s energy supply chain and unmatched expertise in oilfield and industrial chemicals make Baker Hughes uniquely suited to support complex FPSO operations such as these.”
The Uaru and Whiptail projects represent ExxonMobil Guyana’s fifth and sixth developments in the country. The two projects will include up to 20 drill centres and 92 production and injection wells. Each FPSO will have a production capacity of 250,000 barrels per day, increasing Guyana’s total daily production capacity to approximately 1.3 million barrels.
Baker Hughes has a strong track record of localisation in Guyana, underscored by the opening of a multimodal supercenter in Georgetown in 2022. The company continues to provide a range of services and equipment to operators in the country, including turbomachinery for ExxonMobil Guyana’s FPSO fleet and production chemicals for the Liza Unity vessel.
