ConocoPhillips also announced contracts with Aker Solutions and National Oilwell Varco Denmark to supply umbilicals and flexible risers, respectively.

The Barossa project contract includes a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, subsea wells and subsea production systems. A 260km pipeline will tie the development into the existing Bayu-Darwin Pipeline, flowing into Darwin.

ConocoPhillips Australia-West vice-president Steve Ovenden said: “Award of the SURF contracts is an important milestone for the project with contracts now in place for all the major facilities, following the earlier award of separate contracts for the FPSO facility, Gas Export Pipeline and Subsea Production System.

“Award of all major facility contracts has allowed us to significantly de-risk the project, providing increased confidence over our cost, schedule and execution plans heading into the Final Investment Decision.”
