LUXEMBOURG Murphy Exploration and Production Co. - USA has contracted Subsea 7 to provide the subsea installation services for the Samurai and Khaleesi/Mormont developments in the Green Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico.

This contract covers the tieback of seven subsea wells to the King’s Quay FPS that will be moored about 175 mi (282 km) south of New Orleans.

The project scope includes engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of all subsea equipment including PLETs, PLEMs, umbilicals and distribution hardware, production and export flowlines and jumpers, as well as the wet tow in the Gulf of Mexico to the fields and mooring system installation of the semisubmersible FPS.

Project management and engineering will start immediately at its offices in Houston. Fabrication of the flowlines and risers will take place at the company’s spoolbase in Ingleside, Texas, with offshore operations occurring in 2021.

Craig Broussard, vice president for Subsea 7 US, said: “Subsea 7 will provide a single point contract for the SURF and mooring work scopes on this project, which allows for improved management of the interface risk.”
