The platform is situated in a water depth of 162m in the UK region of the North Sea, around 510 miles north-east of Aberdeen.

With the potential to include additional subsea facilities, Saipem will be in charge of the engineering, topsides and jacket preparation, removal and disposal.

The Saipem 7000, a semi-submersible heavy lifting vessel, will be used to carry out the tasks.

Saipem chief commercial officer Fabrizio Botta said: “These important awards demonstrate Saipem’s excellent competitive positioning in the offshore engineering and construction market, a sector that is experiencing a full expansion momentum of which Saipem is ready to seize the opportunities.

“The contract awarded in the Black Sea is a confirmation of Saipem’s prominent positioning and of its long-standing relationships with clients. The North Sea contract, finally, is a further example of Saipem’s capabilities in a segment where the combination of innovative engineering, unique assets and safe operations is crucial”.
