ASHINGTON, UK – FES International, a global provider of fluid transfer systems, has completed a $4 million project to design and manufacture 19 diverless bend stiffener connectors (DBSCs) for NOV/Subsea 7.
The DBSCs are to be installed on the CLOV FPSO unit, in block 17 off the west coast of Africa. The project formed part of the preparations for drilling that began in 2012, with oil production starting up earlier this year.
CLOV is a four-field cluster on the North West sector of Angola’s deep offshore block 17.The four fields that make up CLOV include Cravo, Lirio, Orquidea, and Violeta, which were all discovered over a five-year period starting in 1998. The CLOV FPSO unit has a capacity of 160,000 b/d and connects 34 subsea wells to the unit.
