TechnipFMC has been awarded a significant integrated EPCI contract from Neptune Energy for the Seagull project, located in the Central North Sea. This contract is the second call-off under the recently announced five-year strategic global alliance agreement between TechnipFMC and Neptune Energy.

TechnipFMC will manufacture, deliver and install subsea equipment including production and water wash pipelines, umbilicals, subsea structures and control systems.

“Our alliance clearly demonstrates the importance and value of early engagement and collaboration as well as our ability to offer clients a full suite of services and global experience. We look forward to expanding our working relationship through the development of fields such as Seagull,” Arnaud Pieton, president of subsea at TechnipFMC, said.

Neptune Energy is the operator of the Seagull discovery, together with joint venture partners BP and Japex. Seagull is a high-pressure, high-temperature oil field located in the Central North Sea in a water depth of approximately 90 m (295 ft). Comprising four subsea production wells, a new 5 km (3 miles) pipe-in-pipe production line and a 17 km (10 miles) control umbilical, Seagull outputs will travel via the Heron pipeline system to the BP-operated Eastern Trough Area Project development and on through the Forties pipeline system to Grangemouth, U.K.

For TechnipFMC, a significant contract ranges between $75 million and $250 million.
