Subsea 7 will be providing platform extension and tie-in on the first phase of BP’s West Nile Delta development of the Taurus and Libra fields, offshore Egypt.
The contract, worth between $50 million and $150 million, will see Subsea 7’s Cairo office and Subsea 7’s Global Projects Center in London launch the engineering and project management work on the project immediately.
The offshore work is scheduled to commence in H2 using the company’s Rockwater 2 as the main hook-up and accommodation vessel with Seven Borealis performing the offshore lift of the platform extension and the heavy construction vessel, Seven Arctic, installing the umbilical, according to the company.
Fabrication of the deck extension and spools will be carried out at the Petrojet Maadia yard near Alexandria.
“This contract recognizes the value we bring to our clients through early engagement to engineer, design and deliver cost-effective solutions for complex field developments.
We look forward to expanding our presence in Egypt and building a long, successful and collaborative relationship with Burullus,” Oeyvind Mikaelsen, executive VP southern hemisphere and global projects said.
