Saipem has been awarded a new contract for the development of the Bouri Gas Utilization Project (BGUP), worth approximately $1 billion. Saipem will undertake revamping of the platforms and of the facilities of the Bouri gas field, which lies in water depths between 145 and 183 meters, offshore the Libyan coast.
The contract for Saipem entails the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) of an approximately 5,000-ton Gas Recovery Module (GRM), onto the existing DP4 offshore facility, together with the laying of 28 km of pipelines connecting the DP3, DP4 and Sabratha platforms.
The main lifting operations will be executed by the semi-submersible crane vessel Saipem 7000. With this award, Saipem confirms its commitment and competitive positioning offshore Libya. The completion of the project will make an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions in Libya.
Mellitah Oil & Gas B.V. Libyan Branch is a consortium formed by National Oil Corporation of Libya and Eni North Africa.
