Woodside awards FEED contract to Aibel

Australian company Woodside has awarded Aibel a FEED contract in connection with the subsea tie back to the Ngujima-Yin FPSO.

The Greater Enfield Development comprises the subsea tie back of the Ngujima-Yin FPSO. The FPSO will undergo modifications to the topsides, hull and turret. Aibel’s scope of work includes management, engineering and provision of procurement services for FEED (Front End Engineering and Design).

The contract also holds an option for the project’s execution phase.

“This is an important assignment for Aibel, allowing us to further grow our experience within FPSO deliveries. Aibel Singapore has through several individual projects proven to deliver great results. I am confident they will do the same this time,” says EVP Field Development, Nils Arne Hatleskog.

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.
