    For the same project, Subsea7 will transport and install about 98 km of flexible pipes, 30 km of umbilicals and associated subsea structures in water depths close to 1,700 m.

    The company is splitting project management and engineering between its offices in Angola, France, the UK and Portugal, with fabrication assigned to its Sonamet yard in Lobito. Offshore operations should follow between fourth-quarter 2024 and fourth-quarter 2025.

    Eni Angola also has reached agreement with Yinson Holdings in Kuala Lumpur to start preliminary work on suppling an FPSO and operations/maintenance for the same project.
