ABERDEEN, UK -- Burullus Gas has awarded CSL a $1.4 million contract for a subsea operations support project in Egypt on the Simian field, 114 km (71 mi) offshore Idku.

CSL will provide procurement services, project management, and engineering support for the project.

The project involves the replacement of two glycol filtration units (GFUs), which prevent blockages in the pipelines that serve the Simian field's subsea developments. CSL will utilize an Egyptian workforce for the fabrication, assembly, and test of the replacement GFUs and will provide on-site supervision of the work.

As well as managing interfaces with the project contractors, CSL will provide engineering and construction representation throughout the offshore phase of the project, which will be carried out in a water depth of 825 m (2,707 ft) by ROVs from Burullus' subcontracted vesselDP Reel. The offshore phase of the project began at the beginning of August with completion scheduled for early September.
