Saipem has been awarded two contracts with a combined value of approximately €800 million for offshore work in Ivory Coast and an onshore biorefinery project in Italy.
The first contract, awarded by Eni Côte d’Ivoire and its partners, covers the Baleine Phase 3 project. This is the third development phase of the Baleine oil and gas field, located offshore Ivory Coast in water depths of up to 1,300 m.
Saipem will carry out the engineering, fabrication, transportation and installation of approximately 50 km of rigid pipelines and associated subsea structures.
The scope also includes the transportation and installation of flexible risers, flexible jumpers, subsea production systems, a 3 km flexible gas export flowline and 22 km of subsea umbilical.
The offshore project is expected to last approximately three years. The construction vessels FDS and Shen Da will be deployed for the work.
The second contract was awarded by Enilive for the engineering, procurement and construction of a new deoxygenation unit at its biorefinery in Porto Marghera, Venice.
The unit will be designed to process 70 tonnes per hour of biogenic feedstocks and contribute to increasing the production capacity of hydrotreated vegetable oil biofuel.
The contract forms part of a wider biorefining collaboration between Eni and Saipem. It follows the EPC contract for biojet production at the Venice biorefinery announced in June 2025.
