Another contract has gone out in the development of resources offshore Mozambique. GE Oil & Gas signed a long-term agreement to collaborate with ENI East Africa (EEA) on the offshore Mozambique developments it operates. GE Oil & Gas has secured orders for the Coral South FLNG from EEA for the supply of seven xmas trees, three 2-slot manifolds with integrated distribution units, MB rigid jumpers, seven subsea wellheads with spare components, a complete topside control system to be installed on the FLNG facility, and associated services equipment and support including IWOCS and Landing Strings, tools, spares and technical assistance for installation, commissioning and start-up.
The agreement comprises a multi-year contract to supply subsea production systems, ancillary equipment and services. It covers the Coral South FLNG project and is the first phase of EEA’s strategically-important development plans for the Rovuma Basin Area 4 gas resources. The agreement also covers Area 4 future potential upstream projects. It includes a separate five-year aftermarket services contract for Life of Field of the subsea infrastructure, plus one five-year option and five three-year extensions.
“Coral South FLNG is the first major subsea development in East Africa and provides GE Oil & Gas with the opportunity to affirm our leadership in large bore technology and our standardized portfolio of subsea equipment and services for deep water projects,” said Neil Saunders, President and CEO of Subsea Systems & Drilling, GE Oil & Gas. “As the only subsea production systems supplier in-country and in East Africa, it provides tremendous opportunities to grow our operations in the region and it further underlines our commitment to drive productivity and cost-efficiency improvements for global projects by building long-term relationships with industry players in place of more outdated transactional approaches.”
The Coral South FLNG project, the first phase of EEA’s wider plan of development for the Rovuma Basin Area 4, will see the installation of an FLNG facility with a capacity of around 3.4 Mtpa, fed by six subsea wells and expected to produce up to 5 Tcf of gas, with an anticipated start-up in mid-2022. The first ever deep-water project to start producing gas in Mozambique, it will provide significant local economic benefits through job creation and support the region’s future energy needs.
