Woodside Energy and OneSubsea, a Cameron and Schlumberger company, jointly announce that OneSubsea has been awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the proposed Woodside-operated Browse FLNG Development offshore northwest Australia.
A team of OneSubsea experts, operating out of OneSubsea’s Perth city office, will now work collaboratively with Woodside to fully define and determine the optimal subsea production system design and equipment requirements for the Browse FLNG Development. The contract will involve up to 20 locally employed people working on the subsea scope over the next 12 to 18 months as Woodside prepares for a final investment decision (FID).
Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said the contract award is the first of a number anticipated to be awarded in the future to Australian-based engineering firms, manufacturers and suppliers associated with the subsea elements of the Browse FLNG Development. “Our local content commitment is focused on working with Australian-based suppliers with world-class capabilities to partner with us on our operations and developments”, he said.
The contract award is the first under OneSubsea’s frame agreement with Woodside signed in January 2014. Under the terms of the five-year frame agreement, OneSubsea is qualified to supply subsea equipment and services, including subsea engineering services and life of field services, for selected Woodside developments offshore Australia.
