Following contracts awarded to Saipem and TechnipFMC, Azule Energy, a joint venture between Italy’s Eni and the UK’s BP, has selected Baker Hughes to deliver subsea production systems for its ultra-deepwater development in Angola.

The Greater PAJ project is described as Angola’s first integrated cross-block development, with first oil expected in less than three years, in the first half of 2029. The development brings together five offshore fields across two blocks, Palas, Astraea and Juno in Block 31 and Urano and Dione in Block 31/21.
