ConocoPhillips awards Bayu-Undan contract extension to Clough AMEC

Clough AMEC has been awarded a two year extension by ConocoPhillips for the provision of operations and maintenance services to the Bayu-Undan facilities located in the Timor Sea.

The scope of work includes implementation engineering, work package preparation, planning, hazard assessment, coordination, offshore field services and implementation. An important part of the contract is training and capability development in Timor Leste that will build on the work already undertaken by Clough AMEC in the region.

The Bayu-Undan facilities consist of a floating storage and offloading facility and three fixed platforms, a remote wellhead platform, and a compression, utilities and quarters platform, which is bridge-linked to a drilling, production and processing platform. The facility also includes a 502 km subsea pipeline which will transport lean gas from the field for processing at an LNG plant in Darwin.

The joint venture has provided operations and maintenance services to the Bayu-Undan facilities since July 2004. 

The joint venture generates job opportunities for trades to work offshore on FIFO arrangements.
