Subsea giants TechnipFMC, Saipem and Baker Hughes have been revealed as three other contractors for BP and Eni joint venture’s Agogo Integrated West Hub development offshore Angola.
The trio joins the list, which also includes Yinson, Subsea 7 and Aker Solutions, in signing contracts with Azule Energy JV.
TechnipFMC has been awarded a contract worth up to $500m to supply flexible pipe for the project. The contract is one of the company’s largest-ever awards for flexible pipe in West Africa.
Houston-based oilfield services major Baker Hughes secured a deal to provide subsea equipment and services. The scope of work includes 23 standard subsea trees, 11 Aptara manifolds, SemStar5 fiber optic controls and the related system scope of supply. A significant portion of the equipment will be manufactured, assembled and tested in Angola, the company said.
Italy’s Saipem has been selected to supply rigid flowlines and subsea structure transportation and installation.
The six contracts are worth a combined $7.8bn. The Agogo project represents the second major project started in the first seven months of Azule Energy, following the sanction of NGC in August 2022.
The project comprises 36 new wells, one converted FPSO with a capacity for 120.000 bblpd of oil production, 230 mmscfpd of gas injection and 120.000 bblpd of water injection. It will also entail approximately 100 km of rigid flowlines, 100 km of flexible flowlines and 100 km of umbilicals.
The Agogo Integrated West Hub will produce hydrocarbons from Agogo and Ndungu fields via both the existing Ngoma FPSO and the new Agogo FPSO that will be operational in 2026, reaching a peak of production of 175.000 bblpd.
