Subsea 7 SA said April 10 it has been awarded a contract by Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited for the Production Uplift Pipeline Projects in shallow water, offshore Nigeria.

The contract scope includes engineering, construction, transportation, installation and pre-commissioning of 20 km (12 miles) of 24-inch Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) pipeline between the Idoho Platform and the terminal onshore and of 2 km (1 mile) of 24-inch CRA pipeline between the Edop and Idoho platforms, as well as associated topside modifications and tie-ins at both ends.

Engineering and procurement will start immediately at NigerStar 7’s offices in Lagos, while offshore operations will take place from third-quarter 2018 to first-quarter 2019 using the Subsea 7 vessel, Seven Antares.

“This award reflects our strong reputation for successful conventional project execution in the region and offers us a further opportunity to support the continued development of the country’s oil and gas industry,” Gilles Lafaye, Subsea 7’s regional vice president for Africa, said.
