Egypt’s Burullus Gas Awards Subsea Engineering Contract

Egypt’s Burullus Gas Co. has awarded a contract to Norway’s Longitude Engineering for subsea design and engineering services for Phase 10 of the West Delta Deep Marine concession (WDDM) in the Mediterranean Sea.

Located 90 km offshore Egypt in the north-west Nile Delta, WDDM is a part of the Burullus gas field which supplies gas to the country’s domestic market as well as to the Egyptian Liquefied Natural Gas plant.

As operator, Burullus Gas oversees the concession’s continuing expansion, Phase 10, which will bring three subsea wells online to supplement the existing 70 wells currently producing in water depths ranging from 450 to 660 m.

Longitude’s design and engineering services will cover various phases of the project including vessel assurance for cable-laying operations, detailed design of cable routing and crossing, jumpers design, and the development of the project’s related safety studies to support cable and jumper installation, according to a company press release.
