bp and its JV partner Wintershall Dea have awarded a substantial contract for the Raven Infills project off the Egyptian shore to Subsea Integration Alliance. The announcement was made by Subsea7, one of the partners of the alliance.

The contract outlines a two-well tie-back in the West Nile Delta (WND) block and provides for the engineering, acquisition, transportation and installation of approximately 600 km of flexible piping, umbilical connections, and associated subsea structures at around 800 m below sea level.

Subsea7 has commenced project management and engineering, and will oversee the project from its French, UK and Portuguese offices.

Olivier Blaringhem, CEO of Subsea Integration Alliance: “This award further solidifies our ongoing partnership with bp in Egypt. Through our early collaboration on this project, bp and Subsea Integration Alliance have worked together to develop an optimized solution for the Raven field, showcasing our effective teamwork.”
