7 JV awarded contract in Australia for the Enfield subsea development
Posted: 28 April 2004
Technip and Subsea 7 announced today that their Australian entities,
Technip Oceania Pty Ltd and Subsea 7 (Australia) Pty Ltd, have been
awarded a contract by Woodside Energy Ltd for the Enfield oil development
located in the Carnarvon Basin, approximately 40km offshore from
the North West Cape, Western Australia, in 400m to 550m water depth.
The Joint Venture contract, worth around €75 million, includes
the supply and installation of flowlines and risers, electro-hydraulic
control umbilicals, transport and installation of a riser column
and associated mooring system, transport and installation of subsea
manifolds and tie-in and pre-commissioning of the subsea facilities.
The field development will include five production wells and six
water injection wells for reservoir pressure support with flowlines
to a dis connectable Floating Production Storage and Offloading
(FPSO) facility to receive reservoir fluids (oil, water and gas).
Surplus gas not required for fuel will be returned to the reservoir
via two gas injection wells.
The joint venture team performing the engineering, procurement
services, construction supervision and overall project management
will be based in Technip Oceania’s offices in Perth, Western
Australia. Technip will fabricate flowlines and risers at its manufacturing
facilities in Le Trait, France and umbilicals at the manufacturing
facility (DUCO) in Newcastle, UK. Technip’s vessel the CSO
Venturer will be used for the offshore installation commencing Q4
2005 and will be supported by Subsea 7’s specialist ROV support
vessel, Surveyor.
This contract award is another significant project to be undertaken
in joint venture by Technip and Subsea 7 following the award in
2002 of the Trunkline Expansion Systems Project, North West Australia.
