Dyna-Mac’s scope includes detailed engineering and the fabrication of 6 units of topsides modules for an FPSO vessel that will be deployed at Eni’s Block 15/06 East Hub field, located 217 miles (350 km) northeast of Luanda in deepwater offshore Angola. The topsides FPSO modules are scheduled to be delivered progressively to the owner within the 1Q16.
