TechnipFMC has secured a ‘significant’ contract with TotalEnergies EP Angola for the engineering, procurement, and supply of flowlines and connectors for the Girassol Life Extension project (GIRLIFEX) offshore Angola.
The flexible pipes are set to extend the life of the Girassol field by bypassing the rigid pipe bundles installed before production began in 2001, TechnipFMC said in a press release.
Jonathan Landes, president of Subsea at TechnipFMC, said: “Awards like GIRLIFEX are a result of the trust we have built up with our long-term clients and partners by continually delivering for them.”
TechnipFMC defines a ‘significant’ contract as worth between $75 million and $250 million.
Discovered in 1996, the Girassol field is located 210 kilometers off the coast of Luanda in Block 17 of the South African nation.
Covering an area of 14 by 10 kilometers, Girassol was the first of the Block 17 fields to come on stream, in December 2001. It was also the first deepwater project conducted in Angola.
