FMC sets Independence record



By Upstream staff 

FMC Technologies is celebrating setting a new subsea deep-water completion record of 8995 feet after completing work at the Independence Hub project in the Gulf of Mexico.

FMC has supplied 15 subsea trees and associated equipment for Anadarko, Eni and Norsk Hydro since the project began in 2005.

Independence Hub is a deep-draft, semi-submersible platform connected to 10 natural gas fields. Anadarko is the operator of eight of the 10 fields and is also the operator of the Independence Hub facility, which is owned by Enterprise Products Partners and Helix Energy Solutions.

Eni and Hydro are operators of the other two fields. These fields are located in the Atwater Valley, DeSoto Canyon and Lloyd Ridge areas of the deep-water Gulf of Mexico, where water depths range from 7800 to 9000 feet.

"We are pleased to be part of the team delivering subsea trees for the deepest offshore production facility in the world,'' said John Gremp, FMC's executive vice president.
