A $25-million contract has been awarded UK-based Subsea 7 by Venture Production (North Sea Developments) Ltd for work associated with the Annabel field development, located in 30m water depth in the Southern North Sea.
The fast-track engineering, procurement, installation, and construction contract is for the installation of a 10-in diameter, 17.9-km long, production-gas pipeline which will connect the single production well back to the existing Audrey A platform. The single well will be connected through a new two-well slot manifold located immediately adjacent to the well. Additionally, a new subsea control umbilical, approximately 13km long, will be installed from the Audrey B platform to the field.
The installation phase is planned for the fourth quarter this year, and will use a number of Subsea 7’s vessels.
