The Scarabeo 5 is a semi-submersible offshore unit belonging to Saipem, originally designed as a 4th-generation drilling floater for exploration and production activities in harsh and subarctic environments. In 2023, Saipem was awarded a contract by Eni Congo to convert the unit into a Floating Production Unit — FPU for the Congo LNG Project. Once installed offshore the Republic of Congo, northwest of the Djeno Terminal, the unit will separate gas and liquids and compress the gas to feed a nearby FLNG unit.

The project aims to replace the temporary Let Down Station, installed in 2015, with permanent pressure reduction facilities at the expansion area of GS. This upgrade is intended to transport gas to the local market and supply the existing Sirte Oil Company (SOC) coastal gas pipeline with an increased capacity of 19.5 MSm3/d of sales gas at a higher pressure of 51 Bar.
