Acquires FPSO Nganhurra to leverage redeployment opportunities

BW Offshore has signed an agreement to acquire the FPSO Nganhurra, securing a high-quality production unit in a market where comparable opportunities are becoming increasingly scarce. The transaction includes a limited upfront payment, with additional consideration contingent upon the successful redeployment of the unit before June 2027.

With visible project opportunities emerging over the next few years, having this asset in place enhances our ability to offer timely and competitive redeployment solutions to our clients, strengthening our strategic position relative to industry peers.

"The acquisition of the FPSO Nganhurra represents a strategic decision to capitalise on a compelling market opportunity. Given the limited availability of suitable FPSOs for redeployment, securing this unit places BW Offshore in a strong, competitive position,” said Marco Beenen, the CEO of BW Offshore.

The FPSO Nganhurra is a purpose-built FPSO, constructed in 2006, with a production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day and a storage capacity of 900,000 barrels. It operated offshore Western Australia until 2018 and was later laid up in Malaysia. The unit’s mooring system supports operation across varied offshore conditions, enhancing flexibility and reducing costs for future redeployment.

The unit will have minimal lay-up costs and presents limited downside risk from recycling, ensuring prudent capital management while we assess redeployment options.
