Anadarko Petroleum (Canada) and Dominion Oil and Gas has awarded Aker Kvaerner the subsea umbilical and production control contract for its Independence Development. The contract has a value of approximately USD 110 million. A key element of the contract is the supply of approximately 180km of steel tube umbilicals. The fields are located in up to 9 000 feet of water and are located in the Atwater Valley, Lloyd Ridge and Desoto Canyon areas in the Gulf of Mexico. The new deepwater development will use several advanced technologies developed by Aker Kvaerner’s subsea company, Kvaerner Oilfield Products (KOP). The Independence subsea umbilical system makes a steep change in deepwater steel tube umbilical technology, using KOP’s carbon fibre rod enhanced steel tube umbilical design. The umbilical system will be manufactured and delivered out of KOP’s umbilical plant in Mobile, Alabama. As part of the scope, KOP will deliver 12 control modules to be mounted on subsea Christmas trees, and two control modules for subsea manifolds. Included in the contract is also a lease agreement under which Kvaerner Oilfield Products provides an integrated control system for well intervention and work-over. Delivery is scheduled to end in 2006.
