Nexans provided its first delivery for the subsea direct electrical heating (DEH) system to be used at BP's Shah Deniz Stage 2 development off Azerbaijan in the Caspian Sea.
Nexans is tasked with supplying a comprehensive subsea DEH system solution including complete system design and 130 km of cables with accessories for installation. This will provide flow assurance for 10 subsea flowlines serving the Shah Deniz high-pressure gas condensate development.
The Shah Deniz DEH contract, worth around EUR 100 million, forms part of a 10-year frame agreement between Nexans and BP, the operator of the project, to supply umbilical cables, DEH systems, accessories and services for various deepwater oil and gas projects worldwide.
The first delivery consisted of DEH cables and accessories for four flowlines. The second delivery of the six remaining subsea systems is scheduled for 2016.
The cables and accessories will be manufactured in the Nexans’ facility in Halden.
