Woodside Energy informed that OneSubsea has been awarded a front-end engineering and design contract for the proposed Woodside-operated Browse FLNG development offshore northwest Australia.
The contract will involve OneSubsea and Woodside teams working on the subsea scope over the next 12 to 18 months as Woodside prepares for a final investment decision, the companies said in a statement.
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.
The Browse FLNG development is proposing to commercialise the Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa fields, collectively known as the Browse resources, which are estimated to contain gross contingent resources of 15.4 trillion cubic feet of dry gas and 453 million barrels of condensate.
Woodside is targeting a FID on the proposed development in the second half of 2016.
