Subsea7, a global leader in seabed-to-surface engineering, has announced the award of a major contract from Aramco for facilities located offshore Saudi Arabia. The contract is part of a long-term agreement between the two companies.
The project, which Subsea7 defines as being valued between $750 million (£630m) and $1.25 billion (£1.05bn), involves the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of 106 kilometres of infield and export pipelines. It also includes modifications to existing topsides and associated hook-up activities.
Project management and engineering work will begin immediately at Subsea7’s offices in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Offshore activities are scheduled for 2027 and 2028.
David Bertin, Senior Vice President for Subsea7 Global Projects Centre East, said: “This project marks another important milestone and reinforces our long-term strategic engagement with Aramco. We look forward to working closely with the client to deliver this project safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.”
The latest award follows a recent “significant” contract from the Turkish Petroleum Offshore Technology Centre for a project in the Black Sea, which includes the EPCI of subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines. In July, the company also secured a contract from Equinor for the Fram Sør development project offshore Norway.
