Offshore oil services firm Subsea 7 has announced the award of a sizeable contract by Fieldwood Energy to Subsea Integration Alliance, a global partnership between Subsea 7 and OneSubsea, a Schlumberger company.
The award is for the deepwater Katmai field development in the US Gulf of Mexico’s Green Canyon 40, said a press release from the company.
This supplier-led integrated subsea development solution, combines OneSubsea’s subsea production systems (SPS) and Subsea 7’s subsea umbilicals, riser and flowline systems (SURF) expertise.
The Subsea 7 scope includes project management, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of 40 km of pipe-in-pipe production flowline (12” outer pipe and 8” inner pipe), together with subsea structures, tie-ins to the Tarantula Platform and pre-commissioning expertise. The OneSubsea scope includes provision of three trees (with options for two additional trees), connectors, valves, topside controls, flying leads and umbilical termination assemblies.
Co-located teams from both organisations will support project management and engineering in Houston, Texas. Offshore installation activities are scheduled for 2019.
Craig Broussard, Subsea 7 Vice President for the Gulf of Mexico, said: “We are excited to partner with Fieldwood on this material new development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, and we look forward to working with Fieldwood’s talented technical team on this project. This is the first step in what we hope will become a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship.
“This award also builds on the reputation of the Subsea Integration Alliance to offer clients quality focused project execution, with optimised production and improved cost efficiency. By bringing together Subsea 7 and OneSubsea complementary technology and expertise, we are able to provide our clients with greater certainty of return on investment and enhanced asset profit potential.”
Subsea Integration Alliance is a worldwide non-incorporated partnership between OneSubsea, Schlumberger, and Subsea 7 developed to jointly design, develop, and deliver integrated subsea development solutions through the combination of subsurface expertise, subsea production systems (SPS), subsea processing systems, subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines systems (SURF), and life of field services.
Its goal is delivering complementary technology and expertise that help customers extend field life and lower production costs, ensuring greater certainty of recovery and return on the investment, said the company.
