Cargotec unit MacGregor has secured a contract to supply the riser pull-in system for the China National Offshore Oil Corporation’s (CNOOC) deepwater Floating Production Unit (FPU).

The FPU is located in the Lingshui 17-2 gas field, CNOOC’s first own R&D deepwater project.

Lingshui 17-2 is situated in the northern part of the Qiongdongnan Basin in the western continental shelf (WCS) of the northern South China Sea and is approximately 150km south of Hainan Island, in the South China Sea. The water depth of the deepwater project ranges from 1,220m to 1,560m.

The riser pull-in system is slated for delivery in 2020.

MacGregor Advanced Offshore Solutions vice-president Høye Høyesen said: “We are delighted that CNOOC has once again chosen us as their trusted partner after securing the mooring system contract in the first quarter of 2019.

“MacGregor understands the importance of ensuring critical system reliability and availability throughout the lifetime of a project, and helps customers manage the installation phase of their floating production units with efficient on-vessel mooring solutions and robust pull-in systems.”
