Saipem awarded new offshore contract by the Burullus Gas Company for the subsea development of the Sequoia field, which straddles both the Rosetta and West Delta Deep Marine Concessions, located offshore from the Nile River Delta, about 130 kilometres northeast of Alexandria, Egypt.
The contract encompasses the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning (EPIC) of the subsea development system of the Sequoia field, in water depths ranging from between 70 and 570 metres, and of a new 22” gas-export pipeline. The marine activities will be carried out mainly by Saipem’s highly specialised FDS vessel and will use different installation methods (J-lay and S-lay) to match the complexity of the operational environment, including both shallow and deep waters. The work will be completed in the second half of 2009.
