Fugro has won a contract to provide offshore survey and positioning services at the Kaombo oil development offshore Angola.
Under the contract awarded by Technip, Fugro will provide offshore deepwater survey and positioning services to a total of seven installation vessels and construction support vessels. The number of vessels as well as the stringent schedule for the work requires complex simultaneous operations.
Kaombo presents significant geological and technical challenges, said operator Total. Located in ultra-deep water (up to 2000m), it features pre-lay and as-built surveys, subsea positioning and metrologies using a subsea transponder array.
The Kaombo project is a development at Block 32, located approximately 260km offshore Luanda in water depths ranging from 1400-2000m. It includes six fields which will be tied back to two converted FPSOs.
The contract commences in H2 2016 and is scheduled to continue until early 2018.
