Subsea7 (SUBCY) to Handle EPCI for Bittern Field Development

Subsea7 S.A. SUBCY has been awarded a contract for the development of the Bittern oil and gas field, by Dana Petroleum (E&P) Limited. The Bittern field is located in the UK North Sea, around 190 kilometers east of Aberdeen. The water depth at the site is approximately 90m.

The exact financial details of the deal were not disclosed. However, per Subsea7’s statement, the value of the contract lies between $50 million and $150 million.

The project’s scope of work involves project management, engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of a 22km and 12inch pipeline for injection of water.

The Bittern offshore field, discovered in 1996, is located toward the south-east of the Triton FPSO. The Bittern field has been developed with five production wells and two water injection wells connected to the Triton FPSO via a subsea tie-back.
