In a statement J.Ray President and CEO Bob Deason said, “The project is part of the Maintain Potential program that Saudi Aramco has developed over the last 20 years [and] the 2004 Maintain Potential project comprises two new jackets, four production decks, four rigid and three flexible pipelines, along with three submarine cables and anode sleds.”
“This work is expected to take up to 18 months to complete,” added Deason.
Under the terms of the deal, the firm’s Jebel Ali facility will be responsible for fabricating the steep jackets and decks. Once completed next year, the DB27 derrick barge will be used to install the facilities.
The deal also encompasses the transportation and installation of three submarine power cables, totalling nine miles in length, and seven pipelines over 15 miles in length.
The fields are located off the east coast of Saudi Arabia in waters between 60-127 feet deep.
