Saipem completes EPC contract for Bouri Gas Utilization Project offshore Libya

Type: Supply Agreement · Technology: Oil Gas · Country: Libya · Announced: 2026-06-03

Saipem completed the lifting and installation of a 5,200-tonne gas recovery module for the Bouri Gas Utilization Project (BGUP) offshore Libya using its heavy-lift vessel Saipem 7000. The module, fabricated by Rosetti Marino at its Marina di Ravenna yard, was transported to the Bouri field 170 kilometers offshore Libya and installed on the existing offshore platform as part of planned infrastructure upgrades. The project, developed by Mellitah Oil and Gas—a joint venture between Eni and Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC)—aims to recover associated gas currently being flared and transport it to the Mellitah treatment complex for domestic use or export. Offshore activities will continue with integration of the module onto the DP4 platform, hook-up, commissioning, and pre-commissioning of approximately 28 kilometers of subsea pipelines linking the DP3, DP4, and Sabratha platforms. The project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year while supporting production increases of up to approximately 2 million cubic meters of gas per day.
