The alliance has collaborated with bp to develop a technology solution that utilises OneSubsea’s standard equipment, which is claimed to be simpler and quicker to install compared with traditional systems. 

Subsea7 will be responsible for the installation of 8km of rigid flowline and two flexible jumpers, as well as the associated subsea infrastructure.  

The flowline will connect to the Eastern Trough Area Project facility.  

The pipeline fabrication will occur at Subsea7’s spoolbase in Vigra, Norway, with offshore operations slated for 2025. 

Subsea Integration Alliance CEO Olivier Blaringhem said: “This is bp’s third fully integrated EPCI project with Subsea Integration Alliance marking an important milestone as we extend our support to the UK North Sea market.” 

Subsea7 UK & global inspection, repair and maintenance senior vice-president Hani El Kurd said: “We are delighted to be awarded this contract by bp, as it recognises Subsea Integration Alliance’s global reputation for seamless, full subsea system delivery. Subsea7 has a long relationship with bp and we look forward to supporting their Murlach development.” 

Earlier in May, Subsea7 announced securing a super-major contract from Petrobras for the Búzios 9 field development off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.  

This contract involves the EPCI and pre-commissioning of 102km of rigid risers and flowlines, and is valued at more than $1.25bn.
