The power umbilical will be designed and manufactured at Nexans’ specialised cable manufacturing facilities in Halden, Norway, in two separate lengths, together with the associated umbilical termination heads.
Nexans said its power umbilical integrates the functions of power cables and umbilicals in a single cable, enabling a high-voltage supply to be provided for deepwater projects.
The Jack and St. Malo fields are located about 280 miles south of New Orleans, Louisiana, in water depths of 7,000ft.
