The Saipem 7000 is a semi-submersible crane and pipelaying vessel operating within the Saipem fleet. The unit is designed to support complex offshore projects through heavy-lift operations, offshore structure installation, subsea works and J-lay pipelaying activities. Equipped with an advanced dynamic positioning system, two main cranes with a lifting capacity of up to 14,000 t in tandem lift, and pipelaying capability in water depths exceeding 2,000 m, the Saipem 7000 is deployed on conventional, deepwater and ultra-deepwater offshore projects worldwide.

The project involves the development of the Quiluma and Maboqueiro non-associated gas fields through two offshore platforms, pipeline connections and an onshore gas treatment plant designed to feed the Angola LNG plant in Soyo. Its objective is to enhance the value of Angola’s natural gas resources, ensure a stable gas supply to the LNG plant and strengthen the national energy value chain.

The Neptun Deep Project is a deepwater offshore project located in the Romanian sector of the Black Sea. With OMV Petrom as operator, the project involves the development of the Domino and Pelican South gas fields through 11 offshore wells, 3 subsea infrastructure, a production platform and a pipeline to shore. Its objective is to enhance the value of the Black Sea natural gas resources, increase Romania’s domestic production and strengthen the country’s energy supply security.
