France’s Technip has announced that it has been awarded a major contract to develop the Bahr Essalam, Phase II development in the Central Mediterranean Sea.
The gas field development is operated by Mellitah Oil & Gas B.V. Libyan Branch, a consortium between National Oil Corporation and ENI North Africa.
The overall scope of work will see Technip perform the overall design, detailed engineering and deliver the project management, as well as procurement, installation, tie-ins, pre-commissioning and commissioning.
Offshore installation is scheduled for the second half of 2017 through to the second half of 2018. A range of vessels will be used including pipelay vessel Deep Energy, diving support vessel Deep Arctic, and G1200 S-Lay vessel.
“We are proud of this contract award, which is a strong recognition of Technip’s broad capabilities across a variety of areas. It is also testament to our team’s ability to adapt to the challenging market environment, and to provide solutions that still enable field developments. We very much look forward to working with Mellitah to safely and successfully deliver this large project, by leveraging our strong know-how and experience in high-quality product manufacturing and subsea installation,” said Thierry Pilenko, chairman and ceo of Technip.
