International energy consultancy Xodus Group has revealed it has won £5million worth of field development work over the past twelve months.

The company has recently been awarded two projects by Apache for its Storr and Seagull developments.

For Storr, Xodus will initially complete a conceptual assessment to streamline the options under consideration before embarking on the FEED for the selected option. The scope includes subsea pipeline design, flow assurance, materials and corrosion engineering coatings selection and structural and environmental support.

The second award was for subsea engineering associated with the Seagull development. Xodus previously completed the concept selection phase of the development and this new award takes the design of a planned tieback to the next stage. Like Storr, the scope includes pipeline engineering, materials and corrosion support, manifolds and structures engineering and environmental impact support.

The success coincides with the recent award of the company’s 10,000th assignment – a subsea front-end engineering and design (FEED) project in the North Sea.

Xodus has also won work with Woodside Energy (Senegal) B.V to investigate the topsides design concept required for a redeployed Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility at the Rufisque, Sangomar and Sangomar Deep (RSSD) blocks located offshore in Senegal, West Africa.

This award followed earlier field development architecture studies performed by Xodus for Capricorn Senegal Ltd (Cairn) to identify and develop the field architecture for the deepwater SNE oil field. In this new study, Xodus determined the optimal topsides configuration and operating conditions for the FPSO.

Further success in Japan, Australia and Africa brought the total to £5million, including work outside of oil and gas.
