Norway’s Aker Solutions won a contract to deliver Petrobel, an Eni JV in Egypt, its “longest-ever” umbilicals system at the Zohr offshore gas field. Aker says the agreement with Petrobel is worth NOK 1 bn (USD 121.8 mn) and involves the delivery of 180 km of steel tube umbilicals that will connect the Zohr subsea development to an offshore control platform. The umbilicals system is expected to be delivered in mid-April 2017 and the company says “the work will be led by Aker Solutions’ subsea division in Oslo and manufacturing will start immediately at the umbilicals plant in Moss, Norway.”
