Subsea 7 has won a contract worth US$500mn by BP and partner DEA for the development of the Taurus and Libra subsea fields offshore Alexandria, Egypt

Øeyvind Mikaelsen, executive V-P, Southern Hemisphere and Global Projects said, “This large contract awarded by BP for the first phase of the West Nile Delta field development recognises the value we bring to our clients through early engagement with them to engineer, design and deliver cost-effective solutions for complex field developments. We look forward to expanding our presence in Egypt and building on our long, successful and collaborative relationship with BP.”
According to the company, engineering and project management work would commence immediately and undertaken at Subsea 7’s Global Projects Centre in London.
