Subsea 7 Win £100m Contract To Install New Culzean Gas Field
Engineers Subsea 7 have won a £100m contract to make and install underwater equipment for the new Culzean Gas Field.
The gas field, which was discovered in 2008, was given the approval for Maersh Oil to start production yesterday.
Subsea 7 is to lay 55km (34 miles) of pipeline as part of the project.
It will also provide seabed structures and links to the field's platforms.
The field is expected to supply about 5% of the UK's gas demand after production begins in 2019.
Subsea 7 is to start work immediately at its Aberdeen base, and offshore work is expected in 2017.
