The company said in its statement that the first contract has been assigned by Azule Energy for the Agogo Full Field Development project, a deepwater greenfield development, approximately 111 miles offshore Angola, about 12.4 miles west of the N’Goma FPSO (West Hub), which has been in operation since November 2014.

The contract encompasses the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of rigid pipe-in-pipe flowlines with associated subsea structures. Saipem will mobilize its offshore installation vessel FDS2, the statement reads.

The second contract has been awarded by EnQuest for the decommissioning of existing infrastructures in the Heather oil field, located in the UK sector of the North Sea, around 285 miles northeast of Aberdeen.

The third contract has been awarded under the Aramco LTA program in Saudi Arabia. Saipem said it will execute the offshore EPCI of one platform topside and the associated subsea flexible, umbilical and cable system.

Furthermore, Saipem added it has been awarded two front-end engineering design (FEED) Competition contracts for gas development projects. The first one, assigned by Shell Trinidad & Tobago, is related to the development of the Manatee natural gas field.

The second contract has been assigned to Saipem, in partnership with PT Tripatra Engineers and Constructors and Daewoo Engineering & Construction, by Papua LNG Development. It concerns the development of the upstream facilities to feed the natural gas Papua LNG project in Papua New Guinea, the statement reads.
