Fossil Energy – Topside Angola
Saipem announced that the largest gas production topside ever built in Angola has been loaded out in Ambriz yard given sailing away to the Quiluma offshore wellhead platform.
This milestone marks a significant step forward, following the recent shipment of the jacket to the same location. This delivery represents a key component of the NGC project operated by Azule Energy for Angola’s first non-associated gas development.
Saipem designed and procured all packages and materials required for this 4-level topside, while Petromar, a joint venture between Saipem and Sonangol E.P., managed fabrication, erection, construction, and pre-commissioning at its Ambriz yard.
The construction of the deck (>2500 Tons) resulted in millions of manhours involving a diverse workforce recruited and trained locally.
The NGC project will unlock Angola’s offshore gas development and increase LNG production to meet domestic demand.
