In Nigeria, Star Deep Water Petroleum Ltd. (an affiliate of Chevron Corp.) has awarded Technip an engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract of approximately $800 million for the Agbami field development. The Agbami is located offshore Nigeria in approximately 5,000 feet of water. The new contract for Technip includes the installation of manifolds supplied by Star Deep Water Petroleum Ltd., and the design, manufacture, and installation of flexible flowlines, risers, and umbilicals.
