International cable manufacturer, Nexans announced in a statement that, it has secured a contract for 180 km of 230kV submarine cables for the offshore Marjan increment development project.
The Marjan increment program is an integrated development project for oil, associated gas, non-associated gas and cap gas from the Marjan offshore field located in eastern region of Saudi Arabia
This development program includes a new offshore gas oil separation plant, and 24 offshore oil, gas and water injection platforms.
As part of the contract, Nexans will supply two lengths of 90 km of 230kV HVAC three-core submarine power cables with an internal fiber optical element.
Nexans stated that, it is one of the very few suppliers in the world capable to manufacture, test, store, transport and install such very long length cables in one complete segment without the need for offshore joints.
The Group’s brand-new cable-laying vessel to come, Nexans Aurora will be deployed in the Marjan Program.
“Nexans is delighted with the trust shown in us, and we’re looking forward to adding the Marjan increment development project to our strong track record of subsea projects, building on over 60 years of experience in submarine cable systems around the world,” said Ole Kristian Mysen, Export Sales Manager Submarine & Land Systems at Nexans.
The composite submarine cables for the link will be produced by Nexans Norway plant in Halden, while the fiber optical cable will be produced at Nexans Norway specialized factory in Rognan.
Cable installation is expected to commence in February 2022.
