MILAN, Italy -- Saipem has won offshore engineering and construction valued at over $2.2 billion.

The scope includes engineering, procurement, fabrication, and installation of 12 wellhead platforms, two tie-in platforms, and one injection platform; a 36-in.

Saipem also will engineer shore approaches and lay around 120 km (74.6 mi) of onshore pipelines.
Fabrication activities will be executed mainly by yards in Dammam, where Saipem is in a consortium with Saudi partners. Saipem’s new Karimun yard in Indonesia will handle the larger structures. Offshore activities will be performed mainly by Saipem’s construction vessels Castoro II and Castoro Otto.
