The scope of work includes the EPCI of risers, production flowlines, and jumpers and the installation of a subsea production system (SPS) in water depths ranging between 400 and 600 metres to be carried out by the vessels FDS and Saipem 3000.
In the same region, specifically in Equatorial Guinea, Saipem has also signed a contract with Noble Energy for the offshore installation of a 70-kilometre gas pipeline connecting the Alen Platform to Punta Europa on the coast.
Additional minor contracts awarded are related to the decommissioning of existing infrastructures located in the Thistle Field of the North Sea to be executed by Saipem 7000 and two other offshore transportation and installation contracts in the Middle East and the Gulf of Mexico.
