Esso Australia has awarded integrated subsea engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contracts to Subsea Integration Alliance.

It combines OneSubsea and Subsea 7’s expertise in subsea production systems (SPS) and subsea umbilical, riser and flowline (SURF) systems.
Under the contract, Subsea Integration Alliance will be responsible for engineering, procurement, construction and installation of two production wells located in a water depth of about 45m. They will be tied back to the Longford onshore gas plants.
OneSubsea president Don Sweet said: “By adopting our supplier-led approach, Esso Australia will leverage our technical specifications, as well as standardised configurable products that will allow for shorter lead times, overall lower system costs, and accelerated first gas production.
“Further, Subsea Integration Alliance’s execution strategy will enable Esso to achieve cost and schedule certainty and reduce interface risk.”
