The Chinese Oil Company CNOOC Ordered $205 Million in Submarine Systems from Aker Solutions of Norway for Deployment in a Gas Field in the South China Sea

Aker Solutions reported on Tuesday that, under the order from CNOOC, it would provide the subsea production system and umbilicals for the Lingshui 17-2 gas field. The Lingshui 17-2 is CNOOC’s first deepwater subsea project developed by the company with water depths of up to 1,500 meters, in Hainan province. The subsea production system for the Lingshui 17-2 field consists of 11 horizontal subsea trees, four manifolds, a subsea control system, and a vertical connection system.

The scope of work also includes more than 70 kilometers of static and dynamic umbilicals, connecting the subsea development to a new semi-submersible platform.

Luis Araujo, the CEO, said that Aker Solutions’ subsea production system and umbilicals would allow CNOOC to reduce costs and maximize production from the field.

The subsea collector will be manufactured and tested locally by China Offshore Oil Engineering Company (COOEC). Services for installation and commissioning will also be performed in China. The global project will involve Aker Solutions facilities in Malaysia, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

The delivery for the subsea production system and umbilicals will be from the second half of 2019 until 2020. The order will be booked in the fourth quarter of 2018. In August of this year, Aker Solutions secured the order for the umbilical power system from CNOOC for the Liuhua oil fields. China.
