At West Nile, field development will be at depths of around 800m.

Subsea 7 will provide engineering, procurement, and installation, as well as pre-commissioning of the subsea infrastructure from 12 wells, with 80km of umbilicals and 220km of pipelines.

"This allows us to deliver synergies across multiple work packages."

Scheduled to start in 2017, the first stage of offshore installation will consist of landfall and shallow water pipelay.

Set to begin in 2018, the second stage will see installation of deepwater pipelines and execution of the SURF scope.

Subsea 7 vessels Seven Borealis and Seven Antares will be used for pipelay, and heavy construction vessel Normand Oceanic would be used to carry out other construction activities.

Subsea 7 Southern Hemisphere and Global Projects executive vice president Øeyvind Mikaelsen said: "This major contract awarded by BP recognises our performance during the first phase of the West Nile Delta project and allows us to deliver synergies across multiple work packages.

"Our early engagement on this project has enabled BP and Subsea 7 together with DEA to develop an optimised solution for the development of the Giza, Fayoum and Raven fields and demonstrates the effective collaboration between us."
