Subsea 7 has been awarded a second construction contract for the Vito development located approximately 150 miles south of New Orleans in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, with water depths up to 4,000 feet.

The contract was awarded by Enbridge Offshore Facilities, LLC, for the transportation and installation of 50 miles of 18-inch oil export pipelines, 17 miles of 10-inch Gas Export pipelines and three miles of associated Steel Catenary Risers and pipeline end terminations. Subsea 7 said the award is worth less than $50 million.

Project management and engineering will take place in Houston, with support from Subsea 7’s offices in Glasgow, U.K. and Paris. Offshore installation activities are scheduled for 2019 and 2020.

The offshore contractor is already providing project management, engineering, procurement and installation services to Shell Vito, as part of a sizeable ($50-150 million) contract awarded and announced earlier this year. As the contractor selected by both Shell and Enbridge, Subsea 7 is able to manage interface risk between the two contracts and provide optimized and simplified execution.

Craig Broussard, Subsea 7 Vice President for the Gulf of Mexico, said, “This second Vito contract underlines Subsea 7’s reputation in the Gulf of Mexico for providing cost-effective solutions even in the most challenging deepwater environments.”

“The choice of Subsea 7 as the contractor for the subsea scope of both awards enables additional efficiencies and seamless delivery.” Broussard said.
