MONTREAL, May 8, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:
SNC) announces today that it has signed two sub-contracts to
support the development of the floating production unit on the
proposed Scarborough gas field
development project in Western Australia.
Under the two contracts, SNC-Lavalin will provide front end
engineering design support for the semi-submersible hull and
mooring, model testing scoping and supervision, and ancillary
scopes. SNC-Lavalin will also provide overall technical safety,
formal safety assessment and risk engineering services to support
the engineering design activities for Scarborough. The two contracts will be
executed by SNC-Lavalin's Houston Offshore Engineering subsidiary
and its Atkins business in Western
Australia. Both scopes have the option to extend to detailed
design engineering subject to the Scarborough Joint Venture
reaching a final investment decision targeted for 2020.
"We are delighted to be able to demonstrate the breadth of our
offshore oil & gas and project execution expertise to our
clients globally following the acquisition of Atkins and its
subsidiary Houston Offshore Engineering," said Craig Muir, President, Resources, SNC-Lavalin.
"Bringing together the floating platform design expertise of our
Houston Offshore Engineering team with the renowned technical
safety and risk engineering offered by our Atkins team in
Perth, allows us to provide
Scarborough with world class
offshore engineering solutions, while meeting the scheduling
demands critical to the success of this semi-submersible facility,
the second of its kind in Australian waters."
Woodside is proposing to develop the Scarborough gas resource, located in the
Carnarvon Basin, approximately 375
km west-northwest of the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia. The new offshore facilities
will initially have seven high-rate, subsea gas wells tied back to
a semi-submersible floating production unit moored in 900m of water close to the Scarborough field. Gas would be transported by
an ~430 km pipeline to onshore processing infrastructure on the
Burrup Peninsula.
