SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy – ExxonMobil has awarded Saipem further contracts for the deepwater Liza field development in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana.
These are in addition to those assigned to the company last year by affiliate Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd. for the first-phase Liza program.
Saipem will now perform detailed engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the risers, flowlines, and associated structures and jumpers forPhase 2, and will also transport and install umbilicals, manifolds, and associated foundations for the production, and water and gas injection systems.
Liza is 200 km (124 mi) offshore in water depths of up to 1,850 m (6,069 ft). The second phase of the development has a larger number of wells and associated subsea equipment than Phase 1, and will produce around 220,000 b/d.
Stefano Cao, Saipem’s CEO, said the company would likely deploy the recently acquired vesselConstellation, alongside its FDS2, for the offshore installations.
Elsewhere, through its subsidiary Boscongo SA, Saipem has secured a new $700-million offshore E&C contract in the Republic of Congo for a maintenance, modifications and operations project in relation to the Centrale Electrique du Congo, which covers over half of the country’s electricity supply.
