Cuel is due to start delivering the first of three wellhead platforms to the project owner — the Carigali-PTTEP Operating Company (CPOC) — in the third quarter of 2017.

It is understood the company’s workscope also includes subsea flowlines and tie-ins to existing production facilities at the B-17 field.

Construction is under way at its fabrication yard in Laem Chabang, 130 kilometres south-east of Bangkok on the eastern seaboard of the Gulf of Thailand.
