Italy’s Saipem has been awarded a US $3 billion contract for the subsea development of the Egina field offshore Nigeria, as predicted (see last issue of DI, page 1).
The project was included in new contract awards announced by the company in May this year, but was not named at that time, said Saipem.
Saipem signed with Total Upstream Nigeria Ltd. an EPCI contract for the subsea development of the field, located in OML 130. The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and pre-commissioning of 52 km of oil production and water injection flow lines, 12 flexible jumpers, 20 km of gas export pipelines, 80 km of umbilicals, and of the mooring and offloading systems.
The marine activities will be performed throughout 2016, continuing to the second quarter of 2017.
The fabrication activities will be performed almost entirely in Nigeria, and most of them in the Saipem Rumoulumeni Yard in Port Harcourt.
