Subsea 7 Received A Significant Contract From Chevron For Subsea Installation Services At The St. Malo Field, Located In The Walker Ridge Area Of The Gulf Of Mexico

The St. Malo field where Subsea 7 will operate for Chevron in the Gulf of Mexico is located approximately 250 miles south of New Orleans. It has an estimated remaining production life of 30 years. Announcing the contract award on Friday (20), Subsea 7 stated that its scope of work includes project management, engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the multiphase pump system at the St. Malo field, a 23-mile water injection flowline, including a polymer-coated swagelining flowline and water injection control system.

Project management and engineering will begin immediately at Subsea 7’s offices in Houston, Texas. The manufacturing of the flowline and water injection riser will take place at Subsea 7’s spool base in Ingleside, Texas, with offshore operations occurring in 2021. It is worth noting that Chevron holds maintenance contracts with Engeman in Brazil as well

That the Gulf of Mexico is the largest gulf in the world, surrounded by land from North America and Central America. With a surface area of approximately 1,550,000 km², it has a subsoil rich in oil? There are many oil companies operating there, including Brazilians, who are very well accepted for work in the oil and gas sector. See the testimony of a Capixaba who works there here.

Craig Broussard, Vice President of Subsea 7 USA, said: “The St. Malo multiphase pump and water injection system contract is an important win for the Gulf of Mexico region. It combines the use of our newest pipelay vessel, the Seven Vega, along with Subsea 7’s proven project execution capabilities and Swagelining’s polymer coating technology.

“Additionally, the combination of SURF scope for Subsea 7 and the ongoing delivery of subsea equipment by OneSubsea will enable the Subsea Integration Alliance to work collaboratively with Chevron to unlock the value of an integrated approach to project optimization.”

In September, Chevron sanctioned a flooding project at the St. Malo field. This enabling technology application is expected to enhance the field’s recovery.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
