Aker Solutions signs Ichthys umbilicals contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
16 July 2012 - Aker Solutions has signed a contract with McDermott, the main
EPCI contractor for the Ichthys gas-condensate field development subsea
umbilical, riser, flowline (SURF) project, for INPEX in Australia. The contract
value is approximately NOK 440 million.
The scope of work includes the engineering, procurement, fabrication and supply
of static and dynamic umbilicals, totalling 63 kilometres for the Ichthys LNG
project.
Key equipment within this contract comprise five dynamic umbilicals, seven
static umbilicals, 36 steel tube flying leads, and associated equipment and
hardware.
"We have a very strong track record with steel tube umbilicals in the Australian
market and this contract for the Ichthys LNG project further confirms our
commitment to this significant region and our business footprint down under,"
says Tove Røskaft, head of Aker Solutions' umbilicals business.
The umbilicals and flying leads will be manufactured and delivered by Aker
Solutions' facility in Moss, Norway, and supported by the project management,
design and engineering teams in Fornebu, Norway. The expected delivery date is
Q4 2014.
The Ichthys LNG project is a joint venture between INPEX (operator), TOTAL and
other participants. Gas from the Ichthys field, in the Browse Basin
approximately 200 kilometres offshore of Western Australia, will undergo
preliminary processing offshore to remove water and extract condensate. The gas
will then be exported to onshore processing facilities in Darwin via an 889km
subsea pipeline. The Ichthys LNG project is expected to produce 8.4 million
tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG per annum, along with approximately
100,000 barrels of condensate per day at peak.
Subsea umbilicals are deployed on the seabed to supply necessary controls and
chemicals to subsea oil and gas wells, subsea manifolds and any subsea system
requiring a remote control.
Over the past 15 years Aker Solutions has delivered more than 400 umbilicals to
some of the world's most challenging fields, from harsh environments to ultra-
deep, high-pressure water conditions.
The contract has been signed and booked as order intake in Q2 2012.
