TechnipFMC plc (FTI - Free Report) recently secured an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) contract from the integrated energy player BP plc’s (BP - Free Report) affiliate BP Angola for the Platina field development project.

TechnipFMC's Responsibility

Per the oil field service provider, the contract worth $75-$250 million comprises provision of subsea equipment that incorporates subsea trees and a production manifold with associated subsea control and connection systems alongside umbilicals, rigid pipelines, flexible jumpers and the subsea production system for the project. The company will manufacture, supply and install subsea equipment for BP Angola.

About Platina Field Development Project

Founded in 1999, Platina field is based near the coast of Angola in Block 18 at water depths of 1,200-1,500 meters. It is likely to be developed as a subsea connection to the existing Greater Plutonio floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.

Why TechnipFMC?

Per the company, it will provide BP and the oil and gas industry in Angola with simplified subsea field infrastructure, which can help improve project economics and further make use of its Angolan assets comprising the service base in Luanda and its Lobito-based umbilical factory.
