OneSubsea Awarded Subsea Production Systems Contract for BP West Nile Delta Fields Offshore Egypt

OneSubsea®, a Cameron (NYSE: CAM) and Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) company, has been awarded a contract from BP Exploration (Delta) Ltd., and partner DEA (Deutsche Erdoel AG), to supply subsea production systems for the West Nile Delta Giza/Fayoum and Raven fields, situated offshore Egypt.

Giza/Fayoum will be tied-back to modified onshore Rosetta facilities and integrated with a new onshore plant for Raven. The scope of supply for the long-distance gas fields includes large-bore subsea trees, manifold systems incorporating high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS) for the high-pressure Raven field, connection systems, and controls systems, along with project engineering, management and testing. The booking was recognized in the fourth-quarter of 2015.

“BP continues to be successful in driving its standardization philosophy, and this is the third award to OneSubsea that will utilize the jointly-developed large-bore tree already being deployed to other BP projects,” said Mike Garding, Chief Executive Officer of OneSubsea. “OneSubsea continues to support BP in its West Nile Delta development goals, and we are proud to be a part of its long and successful track record in Egypt.”

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
