Italy's Saipem has been awarded three new contracts to TotalEnergies EP Angola Block 20, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, for the Kaminho project for the development of Cameia and Golfinho oil fields, located at about 100 km kilometers off the coast of Angola. The total amount of contracts is $3.7 billion. The first contract covers engineering, procurement, construction, transport and commissioning of the FPSO Kaminho (Floating Production Storage and Offloading). The second includes the operation & maintenance (O&M) of the same FPSO for a period of 12 years with a potential extension of eight years. The Third Contract involves engineering, procurement, supply, construction, installation, pre-commissioning and service for the commissioning and start-up phase of a SURF package (Subsea Umbilicals, Risers & Flowlines), which includes approximately 30 kilometres of 8" and 10" pipes and risers, and Umbilical. The associated structures will be manufactured in the Saipem's local plant in Ambriz.

For the offshore campaign, and specifically for the vessel for the J-lay, Saipem will use its own FDS vehicle and will broadly involve the local supply chain for activities logistics and manufacturing.
