Subsea 7 has secured an installation contract from energy firm Hess to support the Stampede Project in the deepwater US Gulf of Mexico.
The deal requires the company to install flowlines, steel catenary risers, umbilicals, jumpers and related subsea architecture.
Subsea 7 will tie-back two drill centres to a tension leg platform, hosting drill centres, water injection and gas lifts.
Production will go via two 10in flowlines from each drill centre.
The main offshore installation phase is anticipated to start in the third quarter of 2016, with completion expected in the first quarter of 2017.
