Kvaerner received a letter of award worth about $30 million from Burullus Gas Company of Egypt for the engineering, manufacture, testing and delivery of a deepwater subsea production system for the Scarab/Saffron Development Project, which forms part of the eastern Mediterranean's West Delta Deep Marine Concession.
The Egyptian Deepwater Development Consortium, a venture of Kvaerner Oilfield Products and Cooper Cameron, will undertake the project.
The project team will be headquartered at Kvaerner's office in London. The fields will be tied-back a distance of 55 miles/ 88 km.
The scope of work encompasses project management, engineering and the supply of manifolds, christmas trees, wellheads, controls, connection systems, intervention equipment, integration testing and installation support.

Further expansion may be undertaken later. Burullus Gas Company is a joint venture of BG International, Edison and Egyptian General Petroleum Co.
