Saipem's Offshore E&C division will carry out engineering, procurement, construction and installation required for the development of the Vandumbu subsea field at deepwater depths ranging from 1300-1500m. Overall the project includes the realization of two production pipelines made of special material, and the laying of umbilicals and service lines of various diameters (subsea, umbilicals, risers & flowlines - SURF).
In addition, Saipem won a new contract in the Gulf of Mexico involving the transportation and installation of the compression platform CA-KU-A1 on behalf of Dragados Offshore de Mexico (DOMSA). Operations will be carried out by the semisubmersible vessel Saipem 7000.
