Hunting Subsea Technologies has successfully delivered eight titanium stress joints for the Uaru Field development offshore Guyana. These critical components are set for integration on the Errea Wittu Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit; the fifth vessel supporting development within the Stabroek Block, led by one of the industry’s most active deepwater operators.
The Uaru development ranks among the most consequential deepwater projects in the Western Hemisphere, both in scale and strategic impact. With production ex-pected to begin in 2026, the field holds more than 800 million bbls of recoverable reserves and is projected to produce 250 000 bpd at peak. The project, approved in April 2023 with an estimated investment of US12.7 billion, further underscores Guyana’s emergence as a global energy growth hub and highlights Hunting’s role in supporting large-scale, capital-intensive offshore developments.
Hunting is the only company globally equipped to deliver titanium stress joints at the scale and quality required for full-field offshore developments. These precision-engineered components are designed for long-term performance in deepwater and ultra-deepwater environments, offering outstanding fatigue resistance, structural integrity, and corrosion durability. Their reliability in high-pressure, high-temperature, and sour service conditions helps reduce downtime, extend service life, and lower lifecycle costs.
Hunting’s titanium stress joint technology is widely recognised for its performance in critical offshore developments. In addition to its most recent deployment in Guyana, the technology plays a vital role in major projects across the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, and the Turkish area of the Black Sea – demonstrating Hunting’s ability to consistently deliver complex, high-specification components in technically demanding environments. With a current order book of approximately US$125 million, Hunting Sub-sea Technologies is actively supporting large-scale infrastructure programmes for the world’s leading offshore operators.
Dane Tipton, Managing Director of Hunting Subsea Technologies, commented:
“Our successful delivery to the Uaru project reflects the strength of our execution and the confidence leading operators place in Hunting when performance matters most. As off-shore developments become increasingly complex and capital-intensive, we are seeing sustained demand for proven technologies that reduce risk and add long-term value. Hunting’s ability to deliver high-specification solutions at scale reinforces our role in advancing global energy infrastructure and positions us for continued growth across the world’s most strategic offshore markets.”
