Norwegian oil and gas services firm Aker Solutions has been awarded contracts by China National Offshore Oil Corporation to provide power umbilicals for the Liuhua oil fields in the South China Sea.
The work scope for the orders, which are valued at more than Nkr350M (US$41M), includes more than 115 km of dynamic and static power umbilicals for the Liuhua 16-2, 20-2 and 21-2 fields, linking the subsea development to a new floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit.
The static section of the Liuhua 16-2 umbilical will be engineered using Aker Solutions' advanced manufacturing process called OsciLay, which the company says allows for manufacturing of much longer and heavier umbilicals than could be produced using conventional methods.
Aker Solutions' team in Malaysia will lead the engineering work, while production and manufacturing will take place at Aker Solutions' umbilical production facility in Mobile, Alabama in the US.
Project delivery is set for the end of 2019 for Liuhua 16-2 and 20-2 and in 2020 for Liuhua 21-2.
