Project summary

Audubon provided topside engineering and design, procurement, and construction management services for the Delta House field development, an independent, semi-submersible floating production system (FPS) in the Gulf of Mexico.

To meet an aggressive timeline, Audubon implemented a flexible “one size fits most” design philosophy that enabled the platform to handle a wide range of hydrocarbon profiles and production rates.

Other services included topsides weight control, control cost management, regulatory interface, and scheduling. Our procurement team also collaborated with LLOG’s purchasing staff to procure all topsides equipment.
