Schlumberger company Framo Engineering entered a $200 million contract with Total E&P Angola. The contract is for the supply of a subsea multiphase pumping system for the Girassol Resources Initiatives (GirRI) Project on Block 17.

The multiphase pump system will boost the rates from two production flow loops. The contract covers the complete system of topside power and control and two subsea pump modules.

The system will be assembled and tested at the Framo Engineering advanced test facility at Horsoey, Norway. Delivery is planned for summer of 2014.
