GATE Energy, a prominent player in the global energy sector, has been awarded a crucial commissioning contract for the Woodside Trion Floating Production Unit (FPU) project by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI). This milestone contract for GATE Energy solidifies its position as a leader in commissioning and start-up services, especially in the offshore oil and gas industry.

The responsibilities of GATE Energy under this contract include pre-commissioning and commissioning planning and execution at HHI’s fabrication yard in Ulsan, South Korea. This project signifies not only a significant achievement for GATE Energy but also marks a substantial milestone for Woodside, as it represents the first oil production facility for Mexico’s deepwater acreage in the Gulf of Mexico.

Lee Jordan, CEO of GATE Energy, expressed enthusiasm about continuing the company’s working relationship with HHI and expanding its operations in South Korea, Mexico, and the United States. Jordan’s statement underscores the project’s significance in unlocking the full potential of the Gulf of Mexico’s basin for the benefit of the Mexican people.

Mark Myhre, President of Commissioning at GATE Energy, highlighted the contract as a remarkable milestone, marking the third consecutive HHI-built FPU project awarded to GATE Energy. This achievement demonstrates the trust and confidence GATE Energy has earned from its clients.

The Trion deepwater development, located in the Perdido Fold Belt with water depths up to 8,200 ft, is a testament to GATE Energy’s capabilities and its expanding global presence. The FPU, set to be constructed in South Korea, targets first oil by 2028.

GATE Energy’s commitment to safety, quality, and excellence is paramount as it embarks on this challenging and innovative project. The company is poised to collaborate closely with HHI and contribute significantly to the success of the Woodside Trion FPU project, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable and trusted partner in the energy sector.
