Saipem has been awarded a new offshore contract by
Turkish Petroleum OTC for further activities within the
the extension of the third phase of the project for the development of the
Sakarya gas field in the Turkish Black Sea sector. The
The value of the contract is approximately $425 million. The
activities assigned to Saipem include engineering,
Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) of three
additional pipelines, for a total of about 153 kilometers, with
related underwater structures, which will connect the new reserve
of natural gas recently discovered in the Goktepe field at the
Sakarya Phase 3 Works. The Goktepe field is located
at a depth of 2,200 meters and at a distance of about 80
kilometers from the Sakarya field phase 3. The new infrastructure
will allow an increase in production resulting from the
development of the deposit.
The new contract, lasting about two and a half years, will be
managed in continuity with the one signed last September
