TechnipFMC has revealed that it has built up more work on Block 17 offshore Angola.
The company said in a press release that TotalEnergies EP Angola and its Block 17 partners have awarded a contract for the installation of flexible pipelines and associated subsea structures for the Girassol life extension project ( GIR LIFEX).
TechnipFMC noted that it is a major contract, placing its value between $75 million and $250 million.
In February, the company announced another “significant” contract from TotalEnergies EP Angola for the GIR LIFEX project. This contract covers the engineering, procurement and supply of flowlines and connectors for the project, TechnipFMC disclosed at the time.
The flexible pipes will extend the life of the Girassol field by avoiding the rigid pipe bundles installed before production began in 2001, the company said in the statement.
“The seamless integration of engineering, manufacturing and installation gives our customers the flexibility and agility they need to achieve their project goals. We have a good knowledge of this field, having built the underwater tree systems for the original development of Girassol. It gives us immense pride that our long-term customers continue to show confidence and trust in our solutions through subsequent awards,” said Jonathan Landes, President of Subsea at TechnipFMC.
In June last year, TechnipFMC also secured the first contract under the companies’ new framework agreement covering subsea trees for brownfield developments in Block 17 in Angola. TotalEnergies EP Angola contracted TechnipFMC to supply subsea production systems for the development of CLOV3 on the block.
The CLOV3 contract includes Subsea 2.0 trees and associated controls, umbilical termination assemblies, bridges and services.
Earlier this year, TechniFMC was also contracted by Azule Energy to supply subsea production systems for the Block 18 Infills development, offshore Angola. This was followed by an agreement to supply flexible pipes for its Ndungu project, off the coast of Angola.
