Republic of Congo: Geocean Secures Marine XII FLNG Contract

Marine contractor Geocean has secured a contract with energy technology company Wison New Energies to install a mooring system for the FLNG unit on the Marine XII LNG project, offshore the Republic of Congo.

The contract includes the installation of a submerged swivel and yoke system, anchored by three drilled piles and connected to the FLNG via a flexible riser. The mooring system is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2025. 

Situated approximately 50 km from Pointe Noire, energy supermajor Eni’s Marine XII project is set to produce 2.4 million metric tons of LNG annually. Production is expected to increase to 4.5 billion cubic meters per year by 2026, with LNG output used for both domestic consumption and export.
