NEW EPC CONTRACT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA (WHPA PROJECT)
Gruppo Antonini has been awarded a new EPCIC offshore contract in the Mediterranean Sea worth approximately €300 million.
Gruppo Antonini, a global operator in the oil & gas industry for over 80 years, has won a new order for offshore EPCIC services (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning) in the Mediterranean.
This project values €300 million and represents around 25% of the total and was awarded by Mellitah Oil & Gas BV - Libyan Branch (National Oil Corporation of Libya and Eni North Africa) to the consortium formed by Gruppo Antonini, Rosetti Marino Spa, Kerry Project Logistics (Italy) Spa.
The project entails the construction of a new gas production platform weighing over 20,000 tons, for installation in the Bahr Essalam field off the Libyan coast.
Gruppo Antonini will provide onshore services including the construction of the LIVING QUARTERS and PILES, as well as plant commissioning and entry into service activities.
The WHPA platform will have a JACKET weighing around 7,000 tons, 8 PILES of around 5,000 tons each, a TOPSIDE with FLARE tower of around 8,000 tons, LIVING QUARTERS weighing around 800 tons and an FMWR (Fast Moving Workover Rig) provisionally weighing over 2,000 tons. Project completion is scheduled for 2Q 2028.
This major order is the second placed by Mellitah Oil & Gas BV to Gruppo Antonini. Last summer, the Group won a contract worth over €200 million for the Sabratha Platform Compression Module Project, a module for installation at a height of 42 metres above sea level on the existing SABRATHA gas platform, 120 km off the Libyan coast.
"The awarding of this order,” explained Group CEO Simone Antonini, “is a demonstration of the vast experience of Gruppo Antonini, a family-run business now in its fourth generation.
Our group is currently working on three major orders in the oil & gas sector and we’re also in the process of implementing a strategy to secure orders in the green energy sector, leveraging the expertise we’ve gained over the past 80 years.
We’re investing significantly in innovation and the energy transition, both key factors in making the company more efficient and sustainable. This reflects our deep roots in the engineering and energy industries and our constant focus on the future".
