HOUSTON, May 23 -- ExxonMobil Corp. has let an engineering, procurement, and construction contract to Vetco Gray for subsea systems in Mondo oil field in the first phase of the Kizomba C deepwater development project off Angola.

Kizomba C is on Block 15 in 740 m of water about 370 km west of Luanda (see map, OGJ, Oct. 10, 2005, p. 45). In addition to Mondo, it will develop the Saxi and Batuque discoveries, all with subsea wells tied back to floating production, storage, and offloading vessels in use in the Kizomba A and B developments.

Vetco Gray's contract covers the supply of 17 subsea trees, five manifolds, topside and subsea control systems, and flowline connection systems.

Deliveries are to start later this year.
