Saipem has been awarded a new offshore contract by Turkish Petroleum OTC for additional activities as part of the extension of the third phase of the Sakarya gas field development project in Turkish sector of Black Sea. The value of the contract is approximately 425 million USD.
Saipem’s scope of work encompasses the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of 3 additional pipelines, for a total of approx. 153 km, with associated subsea structures, to connect the new natural gas reserve recently discovered at the Goktepe field to Sakarya phase 3 facilities. The Goktepe field lays in 2,200-meter water depth at approx. 80 km from Sakarya phase 3 field. The new infrastructure will enable increased production from the field development.
The contract, with a duration of approx. 2 and a half years, will be managed in continuity with the contract signed in September 2025 for the third phase of the Sakarya field development. The offshore campaign will be conducted by Saipem's Castorone pipelay vessel in the second half of 2027.
The award of this new contract confirms Saipem’s position as a strategic partner for major projects in the country, while also contributing to the sustainable development of the Turkish energy market.
