The subsea project scope of work for the Aviat field development includes project management, detailed engineering, procurement, and installation of 23.2 km rigid pipelines and 24 km umbilical via reel, flexible riser, spools, and structures as well as pre-commissioning.

The Aviat project with Apache proves our position in the North Sea, and the opportunities arising from our frame agreement with them in the region.
