PARIS -- Petrofac Energy Development has awarded Technip a $55-million contract for the development of the Don West and Don South West oil fields in the North Sea. The fields will be tied back to the Northern Producer floating production facility.

Technip's operating center in Aberdeen will execute the contract, which covers project management, assembly, and installation of a production pipeline, a gas lift pipeline, a water injection pipeline, and an oil export pipeline. Technip will also install a subsea structure, eight flexible risers, two umbilicals, and complete pre-commissioning, tie-ins, and testing.
