Subsea Integration Alliance Secures EPCI Contract for bp's Ginger Project Subsea7 has announced the award of a substantial engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract by bp to the Subsea Integration Alliance (SIA) for the Ginger project, located offshore Trinidad and Tobago, according to the company's release.
The Ginger project represents a significant award under the new global framework agreement between bp and Subsea Integration Alliance partners SLB OneSubsea and Subsea7.
This agreement aims to establish a collaborative approach that enables system-level optimization through increased transparency and early engagement.
It also defines a novel commercial model designed to align incentives for accelerated and maximized value creation among all stakeholders throughout the life of joint projects.
For the Ginger EPCI project, Subsea7 will supply a diver-installed tie-in system, a flexible production flowline, and associated infrastructure. SLB OneSubsea will deliver four standardized vertical monobore subsea trees and tubing hangers, optimized for speed of delivery and installation.
Additionally, it will provide the first high-integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) manifold in the region, intended to enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental performance. The Ginger development is situated off the southeast coast of Trinidad, at water depths of up to 90 meters. Project management and engineering activities will commence immediately at Subsea7's office in Houston, Texas, with offshore operations scheduled for 2026.
Craig Broussard, Senior Vice President for Subsea7 for Gulf of Mexico, stated, "This is a significant project for the region, and one which will benefit from decades of collaboration between bp, Subsea7, and SLB OneSubsea. Our combined expertise and efforts are focused on achieving bp's goal of first gas in 2026."
