Subsea 7 S.A. said on July 4 that it had won a contract described as “sizeable” for a subsea tie-back project in Egypt. The award covers engineering, procurement, commissioning and installation of flexible pipelines, umbilicals and associated structures to an existing production platform. The group classifies a “sizeable” award within a range of USD50mn to USD150mn. The operator’s identity and the field’s exact location were not disclosed.

Initial engineering work spread across three countries
Project management and design teams are mobilising immediately at Subsea 7 offices in France, Portugal and Egypt. Detailed studies include sizing of production lines, control umbilicals and connection structures, as well as planning for installation and pre-commissioning operations. The company notes that its early involvement helped optimise the layout and shorten the future offshore campaign. Fabrication of critical components is expected to begin in late 2025.

The schedule calls for an installation window in 2026, aligned with a planned maintenance period at the host hub to limit production shutdown. Subsea 7 will deploy one of its flexible-lay vessels, with final selection depending on detailed installation analysis. Egyptian contractors will provide marine logistics support and local fabrication capacity in line with national content requirements.

Regional context and development outlook
The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources aims for several rapid start-ups to secure liquefied natural gas exports before 2027. Eight subsea developments are listed in the national roadmap, and the award to Subsea 7 ranks among the first to advance. Regional analysts foresee up to ten further tenders for similar tie-backs within eighteen months. The strategy favours flexible infrastructure to accelerate monetisation of discoveries.

David Bertin, Senior Vice President GPC East at Subsea 7, said that “early engagement shaped a shared vision and enabled efficient solutions”. He added that the company “will support its client in safely executing a strategic project for Egypt”. Subsea 7’s order book stood at USD8.9bn at the end of March, and the new award strengthens visibility for fleet utilisation into 2026.
