Technip announced it has been awarded another contract out of Angola for the Kaombo project on Block 32 by Total. This time the contract was awarded to a consortium composed of Angoflex Ltda (owned jointly by Technip and Sonangol) and DUCO Ltd. ( a wholly owned subsidiary of Technip). The contract consists of the umbilical system part of the Kaombo project.
The scope of work covers the engineering, procurement and fabrication of 120 km of umbilicals, the majority of which will be manufactured at the Angoflex facility in Lobito, Angola. The project will be one of the largest umbilical project to be manufactured in Lobito following a major expansion of the plant capabilities in 2012.
The contract will be managed from DUCO Ltd. in the UK, which will bring its experience and expertise to perform the project management, engineering and procurement activities.
The project will start immediately with first umbilical deliveries in Angola scheduled for 2016. The project is scheduled for completion in 2017.
Jean Louis Rostaing, MD of DUCO Ltd, said: “We are very proud to have been selected again by Total to support this major Angolan development, which is the largest umbilical supply contract awarded to Technip. This contract is an excellent example of our capabilities to deliver large and complex umbilical projects and our unique position to manufacture umbilicals locally in Angola.”
This award follows the announcement of the contract won by the consortium of Technip and Heerema Marine Contractors, for the EPCI and pre-commissioning for the SURF (subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines) part of the Kaombo project.
