Aibel Bags Woodside's FEED Contract for Subsea Tie Back to Ngujima-Yin FPSO

Norway's oil and gas services firm Aibel AS disclosed Wednesday that Australian company Woodside has awarded Aibel a front end engineering contract (FEED) contract in connection with the subsea tie back to the Ngujima-Yin FPSO, which operates offshore Australia.

The Greater Enfield Development comprises the subsea tie back of the Ngujima-Yin FPSO. The FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) will undergo modifications to the topsides, hull and turret. Aibel's scope of work includes management, engineering and provision of procurement services for FEED.

The contract also holds an option for the project's execution phase.

"This is an important assignment for Aibel, allowing us to further grow our experience within FPSO deliveries. Aibel Singapore has through several individual projects proven to deliver great results. I am confident they will do the same this time," says EVP (Executive Vice Presisdent) Field Development, Nils Arne Hatleskog.

New Client

Woodside Energy Ltd. is a new client for Aibel Singapore. General Manager of Aibel's Singapore office, Ramalingom Venkateswaran, is looking forward to embark on the new job.

"Through this assignment we get the opportunity to work directly with Australia’s largest independent oil and gas company. I hope this may become the start of Aibel providing services for their future greenfield and brownfield requirements," he says.
