Wood Group-owned company Mustang has been awarded the topsides engineering contract for the Anadarko-operated Lucius field development in the Gulf of Mexico. Mustang will carry out the topsides engineering, procurement support and equipment inspection for a truss spar floating production facility at the deep-water project. Wood Group said detailed engineering on the Lucius project was scheduled to be completed during the third quarter of next year.
The truss spar floating production facility will lie in the Keathley Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico, in about 7100ft of water, and have a capacity of 80,000bpd of oil and 450 million cu/ft per day of gas. The Lucius field is estimated to hold more than 300 million barrels of oil equivalent and first oil from the field is scheduled for 2014. The Lucius spar will be jointly owned by operator Anadarko with 35%, Plains E&P on 23.3%, ExxonMobil with 15%, Apache on 11.7%, Petrobras with 9.6% and Eni on 5.4%.
