Tata Steel has signed a framework agreement with Subsea 7 worth £10million.
The deal, consisting of four North Sea contracts, will see the firm deliver 55km of pipeline weighing more than 9,000 tonnes in the coming months.
Tata Steel’s exploration and production commercial manager, Richard Broughton said: “Our work with Subsea 7 over the years has been extensive, particularly in the North Sea oil and gas industry which has become an increasingly important market for us. The new framework agreement will extend the work our companies already do together on a global scale demonstrating the value of Tata Steel in today’s oil and gas industry.
“We have the ability to provide the carrier pipe, sleeve pipe and carry out the coating work in-house demonstrating the customer-focused approach Tata Steel takes. Subsea 7 is an important supply chain partner and our relationship with the company continues to grow.”
Over the course of the two firms’ 25-year working relationship, Tata has provided more than 83,000 tonnes of pipe to Subsea 7 for 37 projects worldwide.
