PMS to Implement Subsea Cables installation and Pipelines laying Project at Belayim Field to Enhance Production and Operational Sustainability

In alignment with the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ strategy to maximize production and strengthen energy infrastructure, Petroleum Marine Services (PMS) has been awarded a comprehensive contract by Belayim Petroleum Company (Petrobel) to execute the installation of subsea electrical cables and pipelines in the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea.

The project aims to support sustainable production and ensure the safe and efficient operation of offshore platforms.

The scope of work includes the laying and installation of three subsea electrical cables with a total length of 26 kilometers, supplying power to three offshore platforms in the Belayim Field. The project is being implemented in strategic collaboration with Maridive under the EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation) model.

Leveraging its advanced technical capabilities and specialized fabrication workshops in El-Maadiya, PMS will manufacture and assemble the required project components to ensure a reliable and secure power supply for offshore production platforms. This initiative will significantly enhance operational efficiency and boost crude oil production across the Belayim Fields.

The project also includes subsea pipeline laying works for Petrobel, designed to optimize operations and promote environmental sustainability. This involves laying an 8-kilometer subsea line connecting several wells in the Belayim Field to the onshore facilities in the Petreco area, enabling the reinjection of separated produced water (wastewater) into non-producing wells an innovative and eco-friendly solution that ensures safe water disposal and reuse while protecting the marine environment.

Additionally, a 3-kilometer subsea pipeline laying works will be implemented to transport crude oil from the SP1 offshore platform in the Ras Gara Field to the shore, serving as a backup line to the existing pipelines and ensuring continuous and stable operations.

All project activities will be carried out using PMS’s owned marine unit, PMS-MAYO.

This project reflects the continued confidence of Egypt’s petroleum sector in PMS’s technical expertise and engineering excellence, reaffirming its leadership in delivering world-class offshore projects with highly skilled Egyptian professionals.
