Aker Solutions has secured a contract to deliver three umbilicals and associated equipment to ENI's Coral South project, an offshore field in Mozambique.  

The scope of work covers three steel tube umbilicals that will total over 19km in length and link the Coral South floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility to the field's subsea production system. 

The umbilicals will be made at Aker Solutions' plant in Moss, Norway, and delivered at the end of 2019.

Aker Solutions CEO Luis Araujo  said: "This contract is an important milestone for Aker Solutions as we continue to demonstrate our capability as a partner of choice for products and services across Africa.

"It is a privilege to be involved in the first offshore development in Mozambique and to play a part in developing the country's energy industry."

"This field is estimated to contain around 450 billion cubic metres of natural gas."

Discovered in 2012, the Coral South field is the first energy project offshore Mozambique.
