Aker Solutions has won its first order for work in offshore Mexico.
The company secured the deal from Saipem to supply umbilicals for the Pemex-operated Lakach deepwater natural gas field.
Aker will deliver electro-hydraulic steel tube umbilicals of about 73 kilometres, which will help connect Mexico’s first subsea gas development to onshore processing facilities.
Marc Quenneville, head of Aker Solutions’ subsea business in North America, said: “The Lakach field is Mexico’s first deepwater subsea development by Pemex and Aker Solutions is proud to deliver the first umbilical to the Mexican Gulf of Mexico.”
The umbilicals will be manufactured in Alabama, with the order expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016.
The field is located about 98 kilometres southeast of Veracruz at depths between 900 and 1,200 metres in the Gulf of Mexico.
