Subsea 7 has announced the award of a contract to Subsea Integration Alliance to support the development of bp’s Cypre project, a gas development located offshore Trinidad and Tobago. Subsea 7’s scope of the awarded Subsea Integration Alliance contract is substantial.

Subsea 7’s scope covers the concept and design, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of a two-phase liquid natural gas tieback to the Juniper platform through dual flexible flowlines and a manifold gathering system, along with topside upgrades.

Design, engineering, and project management will commence immediately at Subsea 7’s offices in the USA, with offshore installation planned for 2024.

Craig Broussard, Vice President for Subsea 7 US, said: “We have been working closely with bp and our suppliers at the earliest possible stage to help develop and deliver an integrated SPS and SURF solution that optimises cost and efficiency, to accelerate first gas.”

Olivier Blaringhem, CEO for Subsea Integration Alliance said: ”bp’s Cypre project is a prime example of our ability to harness the key strengths of Subsea Integration Alliance; Subsea 7 with its expertise in executing complex EPCI projects, and OneSubsea’s fast-track distribution of subsea production systems. Combined, we are delivering a refined solution which enables early first gas.”
