Subsea 7 has awarded Van Oord two contracts for work on a BP project in Egypt. Subsea 7 was awarded a major contract by BP earlier this year for the development of the second phase of the West Nile Delta project.
The new contract awarded to Van Oord by Subsea 7 calls for the construction of a landfall and the execution of subsea rock installation works. The landfall scope of work consists of the installation of a cofferdam, trenching and pipe pull activities and will be executed in 2017. The landfall location is at the Burrulus terminal near Idku. Van Oord will deploy a trailing suction hopper dredger, backhoe dredger and 600 tonnes winch. Flexible fallpipe vessel Stornes will be deployed this year to execute rock installation activities to prevent upheaval buckling.
Preparations are already being carried out for the contract.
