The contract’s estimated total value for services requested by the client is around $300m, with Saipem’s share approximately $250m.  

Saipem said its responsibilities under this agreement include operating the vessel, providing the crew, and executing marine activities for the Shah Deniz and Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli oilfields. 

The Shah Deniz gas field is said to be one of the largest gas-condensate fields in the world.  

Last month, Hungary’s state-owned energy company MVM agreed to acquire a 5% interest in the field.

Saipem’s relationship with bp dates back to the late 1990s. 

In 2016, it was entrusted with the operational management of the SCV Khankendi for offshore activities in the Shah Deniz field, under a previous framework agreement with bp. 

Earlier in May, Saipem secured three contracts worth $3.7bn from TotalEnergies EP Angola Block 20 for the Kaminho project offshore Angola.  

These contracts include the development of the Cameia and Golfinho oilfields, the operation and maintenance of a floating production storage and offloading vessel, and a comprehensive subsea package.
