Key Takeaways
Saipem secured a new contract to provide commissioning services for the Osman Gazi FPU.
The award builds on Saipem's April Operation Readiness & Assurance support services contract.
Saipem's expanded Sakarya role strengthens its presence in Turkey's offshore energy market.
Saipem S.p.A. (SAPMF - Free Report) , an Italian drilling, engineering and construction services provider to the energy industry, recently secured a contract to provide commissioning services for the Osman Gazi floating production unit (FPU). The FPU is slated to be used for the development of the Sakarya natural gas field in the Black Sea. The contract was awarded by GOE Petrol Sanayi and is estimated to have a duration of eight months.
The new contract adds to Saipem’s earlier involvement in the project. The company was previously awarded an Operation Readiness & Assurance support services contract in April this year. This highlights SAPMF’s expanding role in one of the most significant energy projects around the globe. Saipem will use its differentiated knowledge and expertise in commissioning complex offshore energy structures while maintaining high-quality standards for the assignment.
The Sakarya gas field is operated by Turkish Petroleum Corporation. The field was discovered in August 2020, about 170 kilometers offshore Turkey in the Black Sea. The water depth at the site is approximately 2,150 meters. This is one of Turkey’s most important natural gas discoveries and supports the country's efforts to increase its domestic gas production. The new contract award also benefits Saipem by expanding the company’s role in a major offshore gas project and further solidifying its presence in the Turkish market.
Par Pacific Holdings operates an integrated downstream energy business across the United States, with fuel retail operations in Hawaii, Washington and Idaho, refining operations in Hawaii, Wyoming, Washington and Montana, and a supporting logistics network. Its refineries have a combined crude oil throughput capacity of 219,000 barrels per day and produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, marine fuels, asphalt and other petroleum products.
Valero Energy is a leading refining player with a robust network of 14 refineries and a combined high-complexity throughput capacity of 3 million barrels per day, which distinguishes it from other independent refiners. Valero’s refineries have a combined Nelson Complexity Index of 11.5, which implies that they can process a wide variety of feedstocks, convert them into higher-value products and shift product yields according to market conditions.
Galp Energia is a Portuguese energy company engaged in exploration and production activities. The company’s oil exploration efforts have yielded positive results, particularly with the Mopane discovery in the Orange Basin, offshore Namibia. This discovery allows Galp to diversify its global presence with the potential to become a significant oil producer in the region. It is engaged in the refining and marketing of oil products and gas, as well as marketing and sales.
