A Joint Venture Between Subsea 7 and OneSubsea Won a Contract with Fieldwood Energy to Work in the Gulf of Mexico in the USA
The contract is for the development of the Katmai field in deep water at Green Canyon 40 in the Gulf of Mexico, where OneSubsea will provide subsea production systems (SPS) and Subsea 7 will provide subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF). Subsea 7 said on Tuesday that the contract was “significant”, but did not disclose the value of the deal. Subsea 7 defines a significant contract as being between US$ 50 million and US$ 150 million.
The scope of Subsea 7 includes project management, engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of 40 km of pipeline (12” outer pipe and 8” inner pipe), along with subsea structures, tie-ins to the Tarantula Platform, and pre-commissioning activities.
The scope of OneSubsea includes the provision of three trees (with options for two additional trees), connectors, valves, topside controls, flying leads, and umbilical termination assemblies.
