Monday, November 17, 2014

West African Ventures, a subsidiary of Sea Trucks Group, has been awarded an installation contract by Afren for a development offshore Nigeria. The contract calls for the installation of a 60-km pipeline, PLEM, flexible riser and spool pieces, as well as transportation and installation of jackets, piles, bridges, and topsides.

A number of the company’s marine support vessels and barges will be deployed for the project, including two of its DP3 pipelay construction vessels.

Offshore Activities are expected to start in Q1 2015.

“With incremental new production to be brought on stream from both the CFB and NFB platforms, as well as from the Okoro FFD, Okwok, OML 26 and OML 113 developments, Afren is expecting to deliver strong production and cash flow growth in 2015 and beyond,” said Toby Hayward, Afren interim chief executive. “We are pleased to have commenced our drilling campaign at the Ameena East prospect and are excited about the potential there and at Ebok Deep.”
