Marine XII: Geocean signs a new contract to install the FLNG mooring system in Congo

We are thrilled that Geocean has signed a transport and installation contract with Wison New Energies to install the mooring system for a Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) unit on the Marine XII block in Congo. Eni’s project is set to significantly enhance Congo’s energy sector by producing LNG for domestic and export needs.

Located around 50 km from Pointe Noire, the project involves installing a Submerged Swivel and Yoke system (SSY) anchored via three drilled piles and one flexible riser connecting the SSY to the FLNG. The FLNG will produce 2.4 million metric tons of gas per year, the FLNG storage of 180,000 m³ of LNG and 45,000 m³ of LPG and LNG production to reach 4.5 billion cubic meters annually by 2026.

The completion of the mooring system installation is in sight in the first quarter of 2025.

The work highlights GEOCEAN’s advanced technical expertise and capability to deliver complex offshore alternative solutions. We are proud to contribute to this significant development in Congo’s energy infrastructure.
