Italian offshore engineering and construction giant Saipem has been awarded a new offshore contract for the development of the Ndungu Field as part of the Agogo Integrated West Hub Project. Under the contract, awarded by the Angolan arm of Azule Energy – an incorporated joint venture between Eni and BP, Saipem’s scope of work entails the engineering, fabrication, transportation, and installation of around 60 km of rigid pipelines and the subsea facilities at a depth of around 1,100 meters as well as the transportation and installation of flexible flowlines, jumpers, and 17 km of umbilicals. The Ndungu field is located approximately 180 km off the coast of Angola. The value of the contract is around $850m. Fabrication activities will be executed at Saipem’s Ambriz yard, in Angola. For the offshore installation campaign, Saipem expects to deploy its FDS vessel, for the transportation and laying activities of the rigid pipelines. The Ndungu light oil field was discovered in one of Angola’s deep offshore blocks in May 2019. The Ndungu early production development project began oil production in February 2022 and holds around 800 – 1000m barrels of oil equivalent in place. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsAngola Italy
