China's Offshore Oil Engineering Company (COOEC) is seeking a sub-contractor to work on the installation of deep-water facilities for the Lingshui 17-2 deep-water gas play in the South China Sea.
COOEC, via its COOEC Subsea unit, late last week issued a tender for the installation of mooring piles, umbilicals, terminals and other subsea structures for the Lingshui gas field.
“An invitation to tender was issued last Friday to a number of foreign contractors including TechnipFMC and Subsea 7,” said one source, adding that Saipem of Italy was not ready to participate - in part due to vessel commitments to other projects.
