The French oil and gas contractor Technip has announced that it has been awarded a US$95.7 million contract by Burullus Gas Company (BGC) for an offshore project in Egypt.
The contract will see the company carry out the lump sum engineering, procurement, installation and construction (EPIC) contract for the West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) Phase VII development project. The project is designed to maintain overall plateau production for the WDDM Concession, located 95 kilometers offshore Egypt in the Mediterranean.
“Technip’s operating center in Oslo, Norway, will execute this contract with assistance from the Group’s team in Cairo, Egypt,” a statement released by the company said.
“It [the contract] covers turnkey delivery of the tie-in structure between a new gas export pipeline and two existing pipelines, including “hot tap tie-ins” that allows the work to be carried out without stopping the ongoing production,” it added.
Offshore installation is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2010 using the Wellservicer, a vessel from Technip’s fleet.
