Seatrium, BP Exploration to develop Kaskida project in Gulf of Mexico

The Kaskida FPU is expected to produce 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day from six wells in the first phase of development.

Seatrium Limited has signed a contract with BP Exploration and Production Inc. to perform engineering, procurement, construction, and onshore commissioning work for the Kaskida Floating Production Unit (FPU) project in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Comprising a single topside module supported by a four-colum semi-submersible hull, the Kaskida FPU is supported by subsea production wells located in a water depth of approximately 6,000 feet. It can produce 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day from six wells in the first phase of development.

The topsides for Kaskida will be integrated and lifted to the hull using Seatrium's Goliath twin cranes with a combined lifting capacity of 30,000 tonnes. 

The Kaskida project is a greenfield development located about 250 miles southwest of New Orleans, in the Keathley Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico.
