EMAS wins Gunflint work

Noble Energy and EMAS have signed a letter of agreement (LOA) for installation work on Noble's Gunflint project in the US Gulf of Mexico.

The agreement calls for EMAS’ Subsea Services division, EMAS AMC, to perform the offshore installation of pipelines, umbilicals and ancillary equipment for the Gunflint, which is located in the Mississippi Canyon Block 948 at a water depth of 2000m. The pipelines will be installed with EMAS AMC’s flagship vessel the Lewek Constellation while the EMAS Marine Base in Ingleside, Texas, will be used to perform the pipe stalking and fabrication of various subsea structures.

Project preparation activities have already commenced and offshore works are scheduled to be carried out during 2015.

Lionel Lee, EMAS' Group CEO and Managing Director said this is the second major contract with Noble Energy, having previously serviced Noble's Tamar field in the Levantine basin of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. In April 2011, EMAS won a contract to supply subsea suction piles and jumpers, as well as install umbilicals and subsea equipment at Noble's Tamar field.

Gunflint was discovered in 2008, and is estimated to contain resources between 65-90MMboe. Noble plans for Gunflint to be a two-well tieback to come online in mid-2016.

EMAS said the company has secured more than US$300 million subsea contracts since the start of 2014, with the subsea backlog standing at approximately $1.4 billion.
