French super major Total has awarded the marine warranty services (MWS) contract for its Kaombo project offshore Angola to DNV GL.
The Kaombo, in Block 32, in 1400-1950m water depth, about 150km offshore Angola, comprises six fields (Gindungo, Gengibre, Caril, Canela, Louro and Mostarda) which will be tied back to two floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) conversions.
The MWS activities will focus on the review of the design documentation and the execution of critical marine operations. The MWS team will support Kaombo project teams in assuring the project transportation and installations are conducted to recognized guidelines, standards and client internal requirements.
The project will see the installation of the largest single award subsea, umbilical, risers and flowlines (SURF) contract to be placed. The extensive ultra deepwater development plan comprises the installation of 300km of flowlines and 20 manifolds to connect 59 wells to the two VLCC’s converted into turret moored FPSOs.
Stephen Norman, Senior Business Development Manager for the UK and Sub Saharan Africa, DNV GL MWS team, says: “We have a proven track record with Total in Angola having previously worked on the CLOV, GirRI and Dalia projects and we are grateful to be recognized once again to support the delivery of a truly mega project.”
He adds: “The work will be coordinated and managed by DNV GL’s London office who have recently completed the successful installation of the CLOV development. They will be supported with local attendances from regional DNV GL offices in Luanda, Singapore, Houston, Jakarta and Dubai.”
