Prysmian wins subsea cable contract for offshore oil fields
€
30 m contract in Abu Dhabi
April 23, 2014 + + + Prysmian Group, world leader in the
energy and telecom cable systems industry, has been awarded a new contract
worth approximately € 30 Million by UAE-based construction company
Emirates Holding on behalf of major offshore oil and gas producer
ADMA-OPCO (Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company) for the design and
manufacture of submarine cable links for the replacement of power feeding
systems to Zakum offshore oil field, in Abu Dhabi.
The Zakum oil
field is the first submarine electrification project planned by ADMA-OPCO
and will be the benchmark for future projects aimed at developing and
implementing a power distribution and transmission network among owned
offshore oil fields, in order to increase capacity and improve reliability
of their oil production facilities.
In detail, the project includes
the design and supply of about 200 km of XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)
insulated Medium Voltage submarine cables for the distribution of energy
to oil towers and platforms, plus accessories and network components. The
project will be implemented by the Group’s established offices in the UAE,
using production from Pikkala (Finland) with first 70 km batch delivery in
November 2014 and final delivery due by mid-2015.
The Zakum project
provides further confirmation of the validity of the Group’s know-how and
technologies for application both in submarine power transmission and
distribution and in the Oil and Gas industry. This new project also
reconfirms Prysmian’s leadership role in a strategic region like the
Middle East, where the Group can rely on a number of projects completed or
currently ongoing including the Barzan oil field submarine power
interconnection in Qatar, the first-ever submarine power transmission link
serving Doha, the GCC Saudi-Bahrain submarine interconnection and the 400
kV power transmission system for TRANSCO connecting the Bahia and Saadiyat
Grid Stations in Abu Dhabi.
