SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy – ExxonMobil has awarded Saipem a wide-ranging subsea construction contract for the proposed Payara development in 2,000 m (6,562 ft) water depth in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana.
Saipem has been doing similar work for the first two phases of the Liza development in the same block.
