OneSubsea has ordered umbilical and accessories from French firm Nexans as part of work to develop the Greater Enfield development, off Exmouth, Western Australia.
The project, worth around US$21.9 million (€20 million), will see Nexans' first product installed in Australia.
The umbilical, comprising dynamic and static sections, will be manufactured at Nexans' plants in Halden and Rognan, and will be delivered in January 2018. The umbilical will be installed in 915m water depth.
Dirk Steinbrink, Senior Executive Vice President High Voltage & Underwater Cable Business Group at Nexans, said: "We are excited to expand our reach around the world and our strong relationship with OneSubsea. Nexans has pioneered the development of power umbilicals which are a cost-effective way of supplying power, control and other functions to the sea floor."
The Greater Enfield project is a joint venture between Woodside Energy and Mitsui E&P Australia. The oil field is 60km from the coast of Exmouth. The oil field will be developed using a 31km subsea tie-back to the floating production storage and offloading facility. The six subsea production wells and six water injection wells will produce around 69 MMboe. OneSubsea will supply subsea pumps for the project.
Nexans previously worked with OneSubsea on the Julia oil field project in the Gulf of Mexico. Nexans designed, manufactured and supplied an integrated power umbilical solution and termination hardware. Production of the field started earlier this year.
