Suriname’s GranMorgu development has achieved another important milestone with the successful completion of Stack-up and System Integration Testing (SIT) for one of the project’s most advanced subsea production systems. This is according to a Facebook post by TechnipFMC.
Over the past several weeks, teams from TechnipFMC and TotalEnergies carried out the testing campaign in Malaysia on the shallow-water Production Christmas Tree (XT), a critical component of the subsea infrastructure that will support offshore production.
The four-week SIT campaign followed Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Extended Factory Acceptance Testing (EFAT), and comprehensive quality assurance checks. The process is designed to verify that equipment and control systems function together as intended before deployment offshore, helping to reduce execution risk during installation and operations.
During the campaign, engineers validated the project’s most complex XT configuration, refined operating procedures, and provided practical training for offshore personnel. The exercise also demonstrated the performance and reliability of TechnipFMC’s standardized Subsea 2.0® XT technology, which is designed to improve efficiency and consistency across large-scale offshore developments.
The successful completion of system integration testing represents another step forward for the GranMorgu project, reinforcing technical readiness as development activities continue. It also highlights the ongoing collaboration between TotalEnergies and TechnipFMC as they advance what is expected to become Suriname’s first major deepwater oil production project.
With critical subsea systems progressing through final validation stages, the project continues to move toward its next phase of execution, supporting broader investment and development in Suriname’s emerging offshore energy sector.
