The West Africa Deepwater rush is on!
• Operated by BP, the $14 billion PVSM project is the largest deepwater
project in Africa
• Chevron will go ahead with the development of Lianzi field between the
Republic of Congo and the Republic of Angola.
• The $2-billion Tullow Oil TEN project development will include a subsea
production system and a 27-mi (43-km) electrically heated flowline, the
first of its kind at this water depth.
• Nigeria dominates with huge subsea projects such as Egina, Usan,
Agbami, Abana, Bonga, Ekpe and Yoho oil fields.
There is room not only for new tonnage but for new vessel technologies
and capabilities for installation, support and maintenance. The Subsea
Vessels Conference is the first and only one of its kind in West Africa to help
you forge partnerships.
Subsea Vessels Africa will discuss how to access opportunities, meet local
content rules and work with subsea partners in Africa. It will discuss

which are getting more complex and deeper.
