Saipem has been awarded a new offshore contract by Azule Energy Angola S.p.A., a subsidiary of Azule Energy Holdings Limited, for the development of the Ndungu field. The offshore field is part of Agogo Integrated West Hub Project, approximately 180 km off the coast of Angola. The value of the contract is around $850 million.

Saipem’s scope of work entails the engineering, fabrication, transportation and installation of approximately 60 km of rigid pipelines and of the subsea facilities at a depth of around 1,100 m, and the transportation and installation of flexible flowlines, jumpers and 17 km of umbilicals.

Fabrication activities will be executed at Saipem’s Ambriz yard, in Angola. For the offshore installation campaign Saipem expects to deploy its FDS vessel, for the transportation and laying activities of the rigid pipelines.

The award of this important project further consolidates Saipem’s positioning in Angola’s offshore sector, both in deep waters and in shallow waters, through the provision of innovative and efficient solutions to reduce installation times.
