One Guyana FPSO
One Guyana FPSO is a purpose-built floating production, storage and offloading vessel serving the Yellowtail development in the Stabroek Block. First oil was achieved on 8 August 2025. Spread-moored approximately 200 kilometres offshore Guyana in about 1,800 metres of water, it processes Yellowtail and Redtail production, stores stabilised crude and transfers oil directly to export tankers.

Field
Yellowtail and Redtail are deep-water oil accumulations in the Stabroek Block of the Guyana–Suriname Basin. Both discoveries encountered substantial intervals of high-quality oil-bearing sandstone. The large development uses six subsea drill centres containing production and injection wells connected to One Guyana, making it the fourth independent FPSO-centred development established within the block.
Facilities
The Yellowtail development comprises 51 subsea wells distributed among six drill centres: 26 oil producers and 25 water- or gas-injection wells. Production and injection trees are grouped around subsea manifolds. Flowlines carry oil, gas, produced water and injection fluids between the seabed equipment and FPSO, while risers and electro-hydraulic umbilicals provide fluid transfer, well control, monitoring and chemical services. Onboard processing separates produced water and associated gas from the crude stream. The gas is treated, dehydrated and compressed for FPSO fuel and reservoir reinjection. Produced water is treated onboard, and treated seawater supplies cooling services and reservoir injection. The installation also incorporates crude stabilisation, metering, chemical injection, electrical generation and distribution, flare and pressure relief, firewater, fire-and-gas detection, emergency shutdown, integrated process and subsea controls, cargo handling and accommodation. One Guyana uses a purpose-built "Fast4Ward" multi-purpose-floater hull and standardised topside-module concept. A permanent spread-mooring system connected to seabed anchor piles holds the vessel at a fixed heading without a turret. The ship-shaped hull stores approximately two million barrels of stabilised crude. Oil is periodically transferred to export tankers through the stern tandem-offloading arrangement. The original Yellowtail project has no fixed crude-oil export pipeline to shore; associated gas is managed through onboard fuel use and reservoir reinjection.
