Published by Nicholas Woodroof,

Oilfield Technology,
The project financing was secured by a consortium of 11 international banks. The company expects to draw the loan in full, phased over the construction period of the FPSO. The financing will become non-recourse once the FPSO is completed and the pre-completion guarantee has been released. The project loan has a tenor of two years post-completion, in line with the duration of the charter, and carries a variable interest rate plus 1.60%.
The Prosperity FPSO will utilise a design that largely replicates the design of the Liza Unity FPSO. As such, the design is based on SBM Offshore’s Fast4Ward® programme that incorporates the company’s new build, multi-purpose hull combined with several standardised topsides modules. The FPSO will be designed to produce 220 000 bpd, will have associated gas treatment capacity of 400 million ft3/d and water injection capacity of 250 000 bpd. The FPSO will be spread moored in water depth of about 1900 m and will be able to store around 2 million bbl of crude oil.
The project is part of the Payara development which is the third development within the Stabroek block, circa 200 km offshore Guyana. Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited, an affiliate of Exxon Mobil Corporation, is the operator and holds a 45% interest in the Stabroek block, Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds a 30% and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited holds a 25% interest.
