The new TechnipFMC has been awarded a contract from Japan’s Inpex for work on the Ichthys liquefied natural gas project in Australia.

The merged technology player said on Thursday that it will provide Inpex with riserless light well intervention (RLWI) services at the Ichthys field, off Western Australia.

Under their agreement, TechnipFMC will deploy its deep-water RLWI stack and two Schilling Robotics ROVs, from the Island Performer vessel, to perform well access services on up to 20 subsea wells at Ichthys.
