LONDON, May 28 -- Total E&P Angola has contracted Saipem SPA to install a natural gas pipeline and injection platform off Angola.
The pipeline will extend from Block 17 to Block 2, where the gas will be injected into two oil-depleted reservoirs. The blocks are about 230 km northwest of Luanda.
Saipem will carry out engineering, procurement, fabrication, transportation, and installation of the 1,500-ton injection platform—the Single Central Platform—to be installed in water 38 m deep on Block 2.
The marine activities will be carried out by the Saipem 3000 vessel in second half 2009.
