SLB announced that its OneSubsea joint venture has secured a contract from Eni North Ganal to deliver a steel tube umbilical system for the Kutei North Hub field development offshore East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

The project will involve engineering, procurement and manufacturing of 94.6 km of umbilical for water depths reaching 2,200 metres, with a total system weight of around 6,700 tonnes.

One of the industry’s largest umbilical contracts to date, the project will use SLB OneSubsea’s advanced Oscilay and planetary production lines to improve efficiency and shorten delivery timelines.

The system is designed for 10,000 psi pressure and includes a 30 km continuous umbilical requiring specialised manufacturing and storage capabilities.

“Operators are looking for partners who can help them move projects forward with confidence,” said Mads Hjelmeland, Chief Executive Officer of SLB OneSubsea. “This award demonstrates how we combine technical expertise with innovative manufacturing capabilities to support efficient project execution and accelerated delivery, while maintaining the reliability and performance required for demanding deepwater developments.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
