Subsea 7 announced the award of a large contract by Turkish Petroleum Offshore Technology Center AS relating to the Sakarya field development in the Black Sea, offshore Türkiye. The award will be booked in backlog in Q2 2024.

An initial contract was awarded in May 2023 to a consortium including SLB, Subsea Integration Alliance² and Saipem for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the second development phase (2a) of the Sakarya gas field. Today’s award expands the existing contract with Subsea Integration Alliance to include the installation of Türkiye’s first floating production unit as part of Phase 2a development.

Subsea7’s scope will include the installation and integration of risers, umbilicals, hook-ups and mooring systems with the FPU. Project management and engineering will be coordinated through the Subsea7 office in Istanbul, Türkiye.

Olivier Blaringhem, Chief Executive Officer, Subsea Integration Alliance said: “We are proud to receive this contract award extension by TP-OTC to install the country’s first floating production unit. We look forward to our continued collaboration with TP-OTC and our consortium partners to unlock the full potential of the Sakarya gas field and advance Türkiye’s energy security goals.”

Franck Louvety, Senior Vice President of Subsea7’s Global Project Centre – West said: “Today’s award extends Subsea7’s involvement in the ongoing development of Türkiye’s first deepwater gas field. In collaboration with TP-OTC, Subsea7 and our consortium partners will now deliver another milestone for the country – its first FPU installation.”
