MODEC Group was authorised to proceed with the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) scope for the FPSO in May 2023, following a final investment decision on the Uaru project by ExxonMobil Guyana and its co-venturers. The FPSO mooring system will be supplied by SOFEC, a MODEC Group company, and consists of a total of 19 mooring legs.   

Jumbo Offshore will use its heavy lift construction vessel Fairplayer to transport and install the 19 suction anchors, 8,800 m of chain sections and 43,168 m of polyester rope in the minimal amount of installation voyages.   

The FPSO Errea Wittu will have the capacity to store 2 million barrels of oil. It will produce approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day and will have gas treatment capacity of 540 million cu ft per day, and water injection capacity of 350,000 barrels per day.
