Infrastructure includes three offshore platforms, an onshore processing facility, 300 km (186 mi) of offshore pipelines and 1,600 km (994 mi) of onshore pipelines, an oil export terminal and an LNG plant.
Under the MoU, STATS personnel would work jointly with Russian partners to implement projects for wrapping, maintenance, hydraulic testing, tie-in, isolations and shut-off of the pipelines.
In addition, the company hopes to develop a long-term cooperation with a gradual increase in the Russian content and local production of STATS-supplied technology.
