BP awards Subsea 7 GoM pact

Subsea 7 has been awarded a contract by BP as part of the deep water Mad Dog 2 development, some 190 miles south of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico. The contract covers engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines and associated subsea architecture. Subsea 7 is a seabed-to-surface engineering, construction, and services’ contractor with U.S. offices in Houston. Subsea 7 has worked with BP to deliver a lump sum integrated solution from design through commissioning. OneSubsea, a Schlumberger company and Subsea Integration Alliance partner, has been awarded the Subsea Production Systems contract enabling the original cost of the Mad Dog 2 development to be substantially reduced, according to Subsea 7. The contract is the first substantial project in the U.S. to use Subsea 7’s Swagelining polymer lining technology. Project management and engineering will take place in Houston, with support from Subsea 7’s Global Project Centre in London. Offshore installation activities are scheduled for 2019 and 2020.
