Saipem’s Work on Zohr Continues

Monday, July 2, 2018

Even after performing a host of work to bring the Zohr development to fruition, Saipem still has more work to do on the massive gas development off Egypt’s coast. The company, in consortium with Petroleum Marine Services (PMS), was awarded the contract for life of field operations in the framework of Petrobel’s Zohr Deepwater Field Development, for which the vessel DP2 Ahmed Fadel, mobilized by PMS, will be deployed.

Saipem’s operations will be conducted mainly by Sonsub, the Saipem business line specialized in management and maintenance services of subsea fields and in underwater technology and robotics, targeted at enhancing the operational efficiency and ensuring the integrity of subsea assets.

Stefano Porcari, director of operations of Saipem’s Offshore E&C division, commented: “We are proud to have been selected to support the operational life of the Zohr Deepwater Field. It is an important opportunity to foster our relationship with Petrobel and our partnership with PMS. This contract confirms Saipem’s leadership position, not only as a ground-breaking construction company but also as a provider of global offshore solutions, from concept to end-of-life of a subsea field”.
