GE Oil & Gas said it has been awarded a contract with Premier Oil Indonesia (Premier Oil Natuna Sea B.V.), for subsea trees and wellheads for the Bison, Iguana and Gajah Puteri (BIGP) fields in Natuna Sea Block A PSC, Natuna Sea.
GE Oil & Gas said in a statement on Tuesday that the scope covers subsea trees and wellheads, rental tools and field service support during the installation and commissioning stage. ?For the initial phase, Premier Oil Indonesia will issue a call out for three sets of subsea trees and wellheads with deliveries anticipated by first quarter (Q1) 2018,? the statement said.
The company said subsea trees will be constructed at GE Oil & Gas? facility in Batam, Indonesia, reflecting our commitment to increase local content and local capability for subsea projects in the region.
The deal includes the GE Oil & Gas Tree on Mudline (TOM) series and the SG1 wellhead system, suitable for shallow water operations using jackup drilling rigs, and fully aligned to the needs of the operator.
Premier Oil announced earlier this month that the final investment decision (FID) on the development of the BIGP gas fields is expected later in the first quarter of this year.
Natuna Sea Bock A PSC is operated and 65 percent owned by Premier with the remaining 35 percent owned by Mitsui Oil Expl. Co.
