Technip has been awarded a major contract to develop the Bahr Essalam, Phase II development in the central Mediterranean Sea, offshore Libya.
This natural gas field development, which is operated by Mellitah Oil & Gas, a consortium between National Oil Corporation and ENI North Africa, will be tied back to the Sabratha platform, about 110km off the Libyan coast in about 190m water depth.
The overall scope of work will see Technip perform the overall design, detailed engineering and deliver the project management, as well as procurement, installation, tie-ins, pre-commissioning and commissioning.
This will be associated with the provision of a gas gathering system, comprised of production pipelines, subsea isolation valve (SSIV), umbilicals, as well as extensive diving and installation campaigns. It will also include modifications to the Sabratha platform regarding the topsides. All offshore mobilizations will be undertaken from Malta.
Offshore installation is scheduled for 2H 2017 through to 2H 2018. A range of vessels from the group’s fleet will be involved, including Deep Energy pipelay vessel, Deep Arctic diving support vessel, and G1200 s-lay vessel.
In addition, Technip confirms the renewal of the charter for its Skandi Vitoria vessel in Brazil and the expansion of its contracted work outside backlog also through a large contract.
