Nexans to supply umbilicals to Sangomar project

The umbilicals, produced by Nexans’ specialised facility in Halden, Norway, will provide vital hydraulic, control and instrumentation services for a stand-alone FPSO facility and associated subsea infrastructure.

Nexans will deliver 13 471 m of dynamic umbilicals which will be installed from north to south. Nexans will also provide 9.503 m of main static umbilicals, 8719 m of production infield umbilicals, and 14,650 m of injection infield umbilicals in the subsequent four phases of development.

Ragnvald Graff, Sales Director Oil&Gas says: ‘We are delighted to be designing and manufacturing the umbilicals for Senegal’s first offshore oil development. Nexans continues to lead the industry on umbilical technology, and we are excited to contribute our expertise and world-class products to this promising endeavor. Offshore oil development in West Africa has immense potential, and we’re thrilled to be a part of this important journey.’

The Sangomar Field Development was discovered in 2014. Located 2 km below the seabed floor, the field is spread over 400 km², in water depths of 700 to 1400 m. The phased development includes the installation of a FPSO facility and subsea infrastructure that will be designed to facilitate subsequent development phases. These options include potential gas export to Senegal and future subsea tie-backs to other fields.
