Nigeria : AVEON wins subsea contract from FMC
Publish Date : 17-Jan-2014
A Nigerian oil and gas engineering and fabrication company, Aveon Offshore Limited, has been awarded a sub-agreement for the fabrication of subsea structures for the Egina field, offshore Nigeria, from FMC Technologies Nigeria Ltd.
FMC Technologies Ltd was awarded earlier the Engineering Procurement Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) contract for the Egina Field Subsea Production Systems by Total Upstream Nigeria Limited.
The Aveon Offshore contract is for the provision of over 5000 tons of subsea structures.
The project is being implemented by Aveon Offshore at its fabrication yard in Rumuolumeni, near Port Harcourt, and is anticipated to make more than one million productive man-hours of work.
"The award of this project significantly expands the depth and boundary of our capabilities and provides reassurance to the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry that we are a very dependable local partner. It also proves our willingness and readiness to make the investments required to meet the very exacting expectations of our clients in respect of safety, schedule and quality," said Tein George, chairman, Aveon Offshore Limited.
Aveon said, first steel cutting has occurred in December 2013 and the planned load-out and sail-away of the subsea structures is scheduled increasingly from the second half of 2015.
In 2013, FMC Technologies, Inc. secured the contract valued at $1.2 billion from Total Upstream Nigeria Limited for subsea equipment in the development of its $15 billion offshore Egina field.
The Egina offshore field located in block OML 130 is part of a plan to boost Total's production in Nigeria and is anticipated to begin production at the end of 2017, with output reaching 200,000 barrels per day.
