Angolan service provider Sonamet has completed factory acceptance tests on all flowline structures for Total’s Zinia field Phase 2 development.
In collaboration with Subsea 7, the firm met performance requirements despite current challenges posed by COVID-19, demonstrating strong local expertise in engineering, management of suppliers and fabrication experience.
In 2018, Subsea 7 and Sonamet were awarded the contract by Total E&P Angola for the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of the subsea flowlines and umbilicals for the Zinia Phase 2 project, with fabrication to take place in Sonamet’s yard in Lobito.
