Saipem’s scope covers the design, fabrication and installation of subsea structures, risers, flowlines and umbilicals for the extensive subsea production system.
Subject to government approval, final investment decision by the Stabroek partners and an authorization to proceed with the final phase, Saipem will start detailed engineering and procurement.
