OneSubsea has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract worth over $170 million by Petrobel for the Zohr gas field, offshore Egypt

Under the contract, OneSubsea will supply the subsea production systems for the first stage of the Zohr gas field in the Shorouk Concession.

Scope of work includes six horizontal SpoolTree subsea trees, intervention and workover control systems, landing string, tie-in, high-integrity pressure protection system, topside and subsea controls and distribution. Others are water detection and salinity monitoring provided by the AquaWatcher water analysis sensor as well as installation and commissioning services.

“Zohr is one of the largest gas fields discovered in the Mediterranean Sea to date, and is also the world’s second longest step-out, a distance greater than 150 km. This step-out will be enabled by OneSubsea controls systems with fiber-optic communications technology. Our supplier-led approach to the field development, coupled with our FasTrac program capability, and our integrated offering that includes flow assurance, subsea production system and landing string capabilities, will help Petrobel meet their first gas commitment,” Mike Garding, President of OneSubsea told World Oil.
