EMAS AMC, out of Singapore, was awarded a contract by VAALCO Energy for the expansion of the Etame Marin Field offshore Gabon. The scope of work encompasses the EPIC of rigid pipelines along with the transportation and installation of flexible pipelines and two fixed production platforms.
This contract will see EMAS AMC’s new build flagship vessel, the Lewek Constellation, working alongside one of the division’s pipelay vessel, the Lewek Express, and is worth approximately $120 million, as previously announced by the group (see footnote).
Project management and engineering will start immediately and will be managed from EMAS AMC’s Houston office. Offshore activities will commence in early-2014.
C.J. D’Cort, CEO, EMAS AMC, said: “We are extremely pleased to have been awarded this significant project from VAALCO for their Etame Marin Field Expansion Project in West Africa. The Lewek Constellation is an important asset for us to drive our business growth forward. As such, we are very encouraged to receive our first contract for the Lewek Constellation well in advance of its completion next year. The Etame Marin Project encompasses all of our core strengths including SURF, heavy lift, and rigid pipelay so this is a very exciting opportunity.”
