of the project
Name: Kaombo
Client: Saipem
Location: France
Year of development: 2014-2015
Narrative description of the project
In 2014, Saipem was awarded two contracts for the Kaombo field development project, located in Block 32 in Angola: the first, for the engineering, procurement, construction, supply and commissioning of two VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) converted to FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading); the second for the operation and maintenance services of the two vessels (a 7-year contract). The six fields in question cover an area of 800 km2 in the central and southeastern part of the block, connected through 300 km of subsea pipelines to the two FPSO units, Kaombo North and Kaombo South. The Kaombo FPSO project is an international project with fabrication and installation works spread all over the world, both on land and at sea.
