Contractors are expected to submit bids by 16 February to provide pipelines and power cable equipment for the next phase of development at the 900,000-barrel-a-day (b/d) offshore Manifa field.
Four companies including Jebel-Ali-based J Ray McDermott, the UAE's National Petroleum Construction Company, Italy's Saipem and Global al-Rushaid, a subsidiary of the US' Global Industries, are expected to lodge bids.
McDermott previously won the $800m engineering and procurement contract offered by Saudi Aramco to install offshore platforms on the Manifa project (MEED 25:5:07).
The lump-sum turnkey contract covers the engineering, procurement, fabrication, transportation and installation of 13 platforms and the modification of 26 existing platforms.
