SAUDI Aramco has awarded Italian contractor Saipem a pair of deals covering a raft of jackets for mainly shallow-water field developments off Saudi Arabia, writes Eoin O'Cinneide.
The offshore contracts include the design, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of 19 jackets as well as a trunklines and installation contract for the Safaniyah, Zuluf, Hasbah, Berri and Marjan fields.
Saipem was awarded the contracts under the coveted Long Term Agreements (LTA) deals renewed in 2015 with it and other select contractors.
