Question 737-800 ETOPS??

Saw this picture yesterday whilst killing some bank holiday time...

Noticed that "ETOPS" is written on the nosegear door and was wondering when this might be useful on a 737?? I assume that not all -800s are automatically ETOPS equipped when they come out of the factory? I'm aware this is probably not breathtakingly new but I can't say I've ever noticed it before and wouldn't think range or payload of an -800 would be enough to warrant long distances across water.

Happy Easter!
