Saipem’s scope of work encompasses the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of 3 additional pipelines, for a total of approximately 153 km, with associated subsea structures, to connect the new natural gas reserve recently discovered at the Goktepe field to Sakarya phase 3 facilities. The Goktepe field lies in a 2,200-meter water depth at approximately 80 km from the Sakarya phase 3 field. The new infrastructure will enable increased production from the field development.
The contract, with a duration of approximately 2 and a half years, will be managed in continuity with the contract signed in September 2025 for the third phase of the Sakarya field development. The offshore campaign will be conducted by Saipem’s Castorone pipelay vessel in the second half of 2027.
The award of this new contract confirms Saipem’s position as a strategic partner for major projects in the country, while also contributing to the sustainable development of the Turkish energy market.
