In Egypt, Saipem has been awarded by Burullus Gas Company a contract for the development of the West Delta Deep Marine Phase IXa Project about 90 kilometres off the Mediterranean Coast of Egypt.
The scope of work encompasses engineering, procurement, installation, pre-commissioning and commissioning support of subsea facilities in the West Delta Deep Marine Concession, where Saipem already successfully performed earlier subsea development phases.
New facilities include rigid and flexible flowlines, umbilicals and other related subsea structures, to be installed in water depths up to 850 metres.
Marine activities will be carried out between the second and the fourth quarter of 2014.
