SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy – Equinor has awarded Saipem a two-year frame agreement to provide engineering services worldwide.

The award covers feasibility and conceptual studies, FEED, detailed engineering and follow-on work, R&D support, and assistance to Equinor for its upcoming energy-related projects in the offshore, onshore, and floating wind sectors.

The scope extends to offshore trunklines including landfalls and flowlines, components, subsea structures, field layout and routing design for umbilicals, cables, static flexibles and power cables.

Saipem and Equinor have collaborated for over a decade via frame agreements for transportation and installation and subsea construction.

Last October, Saipem signed a subsea service contract entailing the use of the company’s underwater intervention drone Hydrone-R and all-electric work-class ROV Hydrone-W on Equinor’s Njord field redevelopment in the Norwegian Sea.

Recently the companies also signed a cooperation agreement to develop technology for a solar panel floating park for near-shore installation.
