Under a contract from Technip, Fugro will provide deepwater survey and positioning services for seven installation vessels and construction support vessels offshore Angola for the Kaombo project, the company said Feb. 19.
The contract begins in second-half 2016 and will continue into early 2018.
Kaombo is a development at Block 32 about 260 km offshore Angola; there are six fields that will be tied back to two converted FPSOs in water up to 2,000 m. The largest subsea transponder ever deployed will handle surveys, subsea positioning and metrology.
Fugro and Technip have been working together successfully for many years, said Peter Boon, business development manager for Africa at Fugro. Boon said the work team will include Angolans.
