Black Sea Oil & Gas (BSOG) has awarded a contract for pipeline work for the Midia gas development project off Romania to Corinth Pipeworks (CPW), writes Anamaria Deduleasa.

CPW will manufacture the required eight-inch steel pipes for the infield line and 16-inch steel pipes for the offshore gas transport pipeline at its factory in Greece.

Installation work will start according to schedule in 2020.

BSOG reached a final investment decision for the $400 million Midia project, consisting of the Ana and Doina natural gas fields, in February.

The project will consist of five offshore production wells — one subsea well at the Doina field and four platform wells at the Ana field — and a subsea gas production system over the Doina well, which will be connected through an 18-kilometre pipeline with a new unmanned production platform located over Ana.

In addition, a 126-kilometre gas pipeline will link the Ana platform to a new onshore gas treatment plant in the town of Corbu in Constanta county.

Midia is expected to be commissioned by early 2021 and produce 1 Bcm per annum of gas.
