First FPSO for the US Gulf of Mexico sails away

This is the first FPSO for the US Gulf of Mexico and as a result has been subject to stringent checks from the US coastguard and other regulatory authorities. Over the last two years Myriad has been capturing the evolution of the project from the early stages through installation offshore, to the operations planned for mid 2010.

For the sail away Myriad deployed two crews – one in the air capturing aerials from an open door helicopter and one on the water to capture the sheer scale of the vessel.

The journey will take it to the Gulf of Mexico where Myriad teams from Houston will be waiting to capture the arrival and installation offshore.
