Azule Energy awards Saipem, SLB OneSubsea contracts for Angola’s West Hub Tails project

Azule Energy has awarded contracts to Saipem and SLB OneSubsea for the West Hub Tails project offshore Angola, advancing plans to connect new subsea infrastructure and transfer production from four existing fields to the Agogo FPSO. The work forms part of the broader Agogo Integrated West Hub development in Block 15/06.

West Hub Tails enters execution phase

Azule Energy has awarded Saipem a $350 million contract for the West Hub Tails project, part of the Agogo Integrated West Hub development offshore Angola.

The development is located 180 km offshore in water depths of up to 1,750 m. Saipem’s responsibilities cover engineering, fabrication, transportation and installation of subsea infrastructure, including about 62 km of flowlines, risers and umbilicals.

These will be connected to the Agogo FPSO.

Fabrication will take place at Saipem’s Ambriz yard in Angola, with the construction vessels FDS and Normand Maximus deployed for the offshore installation.

The program should take two and a half years to complete.
