The contract is valued at approximately $60 million and is part of Subsea 7’s long-term partnership agreement with Centrica Energy Upstream.

Fabrication of the rigid pipelines will take place at Subsea 7's North Sea Spoolbase at Vigra, Norway with installation taking place during the third quarter of 2011, utilizing Subsea 7’s pipelay and construction vessels.

Oeyvind Mikealsen, Subsea 7's Senior Vice President, North Sea, Mediterranean & Canada said: “This significant award further strengthens Subsea 7’s unique long-term partnership with Centrica Energy Upstream, which recently celebrated its five-year anniversary. Over the past five years, we have safely and successfully delivered numerous North Sea projects together whilst maximizing efficiencies through security of supply and early engagement in the planning and design process. We look forward to similar success with the Ensign Project over the coming year.”
