Nexans has been chosen to supply the cabling for Total’s deepwater Egina FPSO (floating, production, storage and offloading) vessel.
The vessel is being built by Samsung Heavy Industries under a €2.8billion turnkey contract.
The cables have been designed to prevent gas leakages and make them much safer for use in flammable or high-risk environments.
The FPSO, which is operated by Total, will be operational from 2017.
Benjamin Fitoussi, Executive Vice President Middle East, Russia & Africa in charge of global oil and gas activities at Nexans said:”Nexans is incredibly proud to have been selected as cables supplier for this ambitious project.
The contract with SHI is our largest FPSO contract to date, highlighting our expertise in the oil and gas industry.”
