Offshore/subsea systems
The vessel, ordered by Eni, is expected to double LNG production at Eni’s project offshore Mozambique to 7 mtpa when it goes online in 2028.
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
Engineering, procurement, construction, and installation awards made at the end of 2025 are expanding Saipem’s role in Turkey’s two largest offshore gas fields, plus Saudi Arabia’s Berri, Abu Safah, and Marjan oil fields and Qatar’s North Field gas giant in the Persian Gulf.
