Saipem’s scope of labor encompasses the engineering, procurement, fabrication, and set up of six platforms in addition to roughly 62.1 miles (100 kilometers) of corrosion resistance alloy inflexible subsea pipelines of 28’’ and 24’’ diameter, 62.1 miles (100 kilometers) of subsea composite cables, 93.2 miles (150 kilometers) of fiber optic cables, and several other different subsea services.
Saipem mentioned the “vital” contract follows the EPC bundle for the North Area Manufacturing Sustainability Offshore Compression Complexes Undertaking – [COMP 2] it secured in October 2022. The corporate is presently executing the undertaking.
Earlier within the month, Saipem mentioned it was awarded two offshore contracts in Saudi Arabia underneath its present long-term settlement with Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Aramco) with an total worth of roughly $1 billion, the corporate mentioned in a separate information launch.
Below the primary contract, Saipem’s scope of labor includes the engineering, procurement, development, and set up (EPCI) of three manufacturing deck modules (PDMs), 20.5 miles (33 kilometers) of subsea inflexible pipelines with diameters of 12 inches and 16 inches, and 21.1 miles (34 kilometers) of subsea energy cables, in line with the discharge. The infrastructure can be put in within the Aramco-owned and operated Marjan oil and fuel discipline, positioned within the Arabian Gulf off the jap coast of Saudi Arabia.
Additional, the second contract includes the EPCI of three jackets, 5 PDMs, 13.7 miles (22 kilometers) of subsea inflexible pipelines with a diameter of 16 inches, 3.1 miles (5 kilometers) of subsea versatile pipelines, and 21.7 miles (35 kilometers) of subsea energy cables. The infrastructure can be put in within the Zuluf and Safaniyah oil fields.
For the offshore element of the 2 initiatives, Saipem mentioned it plans to deploy its development vessels which can be working within the area.
The fabrication associated to the initiatives can be executed at Saipem’s Saudi fabrication yard, Saipem Taqa Al-Rushaid Fabricators Co. Ltd., aiming to extend and develop the capabilities of native trade, the corporate added.
In the meantime, Saipem obtained two vital certifications for the efficiency qualification methodology of supplies used within the development of subsea pipelines for the transportation of gaseous hydrogen.
The certifications got by RINA, a multinational inspection, certification and engineering consultancy group, Saipem mentioned in an earlier assertion.
“One of many challenges of transporting hydrogen by transformed or newly constructed pipelines is the chance of weakening supplies,” Saipem mentioned, noting that it developed its personal protocol to judge the efficiency of the metallic supplies and the relative welds to the passage of hydrogen, “which permits it to establish the compatibility of the pipelines in each the planning and operational phases”.
