ABL has been contracted to provide marine warranty survey services for the marine operations and installation activities on ExxonMobil\u2019s Hammerhead development offshore Guyana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hammerhead project is intended to be the seventh of multiple developments in the Stabroek block, approximately 200 kilometres offshore Guyana, in water depths ranging from 850 to 1,725 metres.<\/p>\n

It includes 18 production and injection subsea wells and the deployment of a spread-moored floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) that will offload directly to conventional export tankers in a tandem mooring configuration. Produced gas will be transferred to the gas-to-energy pipeline system for disposition at either the Unity facility or the onshore gas-to-energy plant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hammerhead project will be a follow-on from our involvement with ExxonMobil\u2019s Liza 1, Liza 2, Payara, Yellow Tail and Uaru. All are similar projects in the same development block, with the same philosophy and installation method. Our Hammerhead team blends fresh technical insight with continuous, in-country experience in Guyana,\u201d says David Ballands, ABL\u2019s director of energy services in the Americas region.<\/p>\n

The project will be managed out of the ABL Houston office with support from ABL\u2019s worldwide network of group offices, including Calgary, Paris, Rotterdam, and Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

The offshore campaign will be performed during 2027 and 2028.<\/p>\n

ABL has a long-standing relationship with ExxonMobil, having delivered marine warranty survey services on more than 50 projects for the operator and its subsidiaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis extensive history means we are deeply familiar with ExxonMobil\u2019s standards, policies, and supplier expectations. Our consistent performance and reliability have earned us a reputation as a trusted partner in safeguarding offshore operations,\u201d adds Guy Noble, Senior Principal Naval Architect at ABL.<\/p>\n
