Ceona, SURF contractor with heavy subsea construction capabilities, secured a new deepwater contract with Houston-based Bennu Oil & Gas in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) on their Mirage field. This contract comes after a first contract was awarded and completed last year for operations on their Clipper deepwater field.
The agreement will see Ceona deploy its newest vessel, the Amazon, to install a flexible flowline of approximately 3.8km and an umbilical of about 4.2km from Bennu’s Mirage well location, which is located in Block 941 of the Mississippi Canyon Field. Each will be tied-back to Bennu’s Titan Production Facility at a depth of approximately 1,200m.

Offshore work is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2015 and, as with the previous operation, the project management and engineering work will be co-ordinated from Ceona’s Houston offices.
The project is the second that Ceona has been awarded in the GoM to be carried out by its flagship field development vessel, the Ceona Amazon. The Ceona Amazon will be deployed on the Coelacanth export pipelines project with the scope of work involving the vessel laying both an oil and gas export line, totalling more than 36km.
