Fossil Energy – Engineering and Pipelaying
Saipem has been awarded two new contracts for E&C offshore activities in Europe, specifically in Romania and in Germany.
The first contract relates to the Neptun Deep Gas Development Project located in the Black Sea, Romania, for which the award procedure was completed by OMV Petrom.
The scope of work entails the Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCIC) of a gas processing platform at around 100 metre water depth, three subsea developments (respectively at around 1000 metre water depth in the Domino field and at around 100 metre water depth in the Pelican field), a 30” gas pipeline around 160 km long, and associated fiber optic cable from the shallow water platform to the Romanian coast.
The gas processing platform will be fabricated at Saipem’s yards in Italy and Indonesia, and the offshore operations will be performed by the Saipem 7000 and JSD 6000 vessels.
A second contract has been awarded to Saipem by GASCADE Gastransport to execute the pipelaying of the Ostsee Anbindungsleitung, in the Pomeranian Bay in north-eastern Germany.
Saipem’s activities entail the transportation and installation of a 48” gas line of around 50 km, from the Lubmin site, in northern Germany on the Baltic Sea, to the Mukran port, along the east coast of the Rügen island, and the construction of landfalls, utilizing its own pipelay barge Castoro 10.
The Ostsee Anbindungsleitung is scheduled to be commissioned in early 2024.
