Mustang Engineering (“Mustang”), a subsidiary of international energy services company John Wood Group PLC (“Wood Group”), has been awarded a contract by ATP Oil & Gas Corporation to provide detailed engineering and procurement support for the topsides production facilities on ATP’s first newbuild deepwater facility, the Telemark Hub floating drilling/production facility, also known as Mirage.

The facility will be located in 4,000 feet of water at Block MC-941, offshore Louisiana, Gulf of Mexico. Designed for 25,000 BPD oil and 50MMscf/D gas, the unit will have expansion capability to 100MMscf/D gas. It will incorporate six dry-tree wellheads with three pairs of future subsea flow lines.
