Subsea 7 awarded contract offshore Egypt
by BP and partner DEA
Feb 26, 2016 + + + Subsea 7 S.A. announced today the
award of a majorcontract by BP, and partner DEA (Deutsche
Erdoel AG), for the development of the Giza, Fayoum and Raven
subsea fields offshore Alexandria, Egypt. This is the second phase of the
West Nile Delta project, where the field development will be at depths of
up to approximately 800 metres.
The contract scope includes engineering, procurement, installation and
pre-commissioning of the subsea infrastructure from twelve wells, with 80
kilometres of umbilicals and 220 kilometres of pipelines. It also includes
the installation of the export lines from the subsea location to the Idku
terminal.
Engineering and project management work will commence immediately and will
be undertaken at Subsea 7’s Global Projects Centre in London. Offshore
installation is scheduled to commence in two stages. The first stage,
commencing in 2017, will comprise the landfall and shallow water pipelay,
and the second stage, commencing in 2018, will involve the installation of
deepwater pipelines and execution of the SURF scope. Subsea 7 vessels
Seven Borealis and Seven Antares will be used for the pipelay, with the
heavy construction vessel, Normand Oceanic, being used for the other
construction activities.
Øeyvind Mikaelsen, Executive Vice President Southern Hemisphere and Global
Projects said: “This major contract awarded by BP recognises our
performance during the first phase of the West Nile Delta project and
allows us to deliver synergies across multiple work packages. Our early
engagement on this project has enabled BP and Subsea 7 together with DEA
to develop an optimised solution for the development of the Giza, Fayoum
and Raven fields and demonstrates the effective collaboration between us.
We look forward to consolidating our presence in Egypt and building on our
long and successful relationship with BP.” + + + Source and

... BP announced the signing of the West Nile Delta project to develop
5 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas resources and 55 million barrels
(mmbbls) of condensates with an estimated investment of around $12
billion by BP and its partner. The project underlines BP’s commitment
to the Egyptian market and is a vote of confidence in Egypt’s
investment climate and economic potential.
Production from
WND is expected to reach up to 1.2 billion cubic feet a day (bcf/d),
equivalent to about 25 per cent of Egypt’s current gas production and
significantly contribute to increasing the supply of energy in Egypt.
All the produced gas will be fed into the country’s national gas grid,
helping to meet the anticipated growth in local demand for energy.
Production is expected to start in 2017.
