The offshore installation programme will be in 2005.JP Capron, Vice President, Africa and Mediterranean Region said "The award of this significant fabrication and pipelay project follows on from a similar package of work on the first phase of the Amenam development that we completed successfully in 2002. It also recognises both the excellent quality of work that our yard in Warri is known to produce and our experience of this type of project."
