Subsea 7 said on June 15 it has been awarded a sizeable contract by Shell (NYSE: RDS.A) as part of the deepwater Vito development, approximately 150 miles (241 km) south of New Orleans, in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
The contract scope covers the project management, engineering, procurement, installation and pull-in of two 12-inch infield production flowlines with 10-inch steel catenary risers (SCRs), one gas lift flowline and SCR, and the umbilical system.
Project management and engineering will take place in Houston, Texas, with support from Subsea 7’s specialist technical pipeline group in Glasgow, U.K. Offshore installation activities are scheduled for 2020 and 2021.
“We have a collaborative partnership across our management teams, where synergies and shared goals are powerful drivers in delivering a differentiated and value-adding service,” Craig Broussard, Subsea 7’s vice president for the Gulf of Mexico, said.
“This award will draw on our expertise to ensure our client is given the competency, cost-efficiency and project capability they need to unlock the full potential of this significant deepwater development,” he added.
