Saipem scores $600mn in field contracts
Italian engineering group Saipem has secured two transportation and installation contracts worth more than $600mn at gas fields off the coast of Australia and Turkey, the company announced on November 15.
The first contract was awarded by Chevron for the Jansz-lo compression project, some 200 km off the northwest coast of Australia, at a water depth of 1,400 m. The Jansz-lo project will deliver gas to the Chevron-operated Gorgon LNG plant, helping maintain supply.
