Prequalifications are invited for Provision of Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) Services of Subsea Production System (SPS) and Aftermarket Services for Zabazaba and Etan Development Project (WP-4). Date Added: May 14, 2026 Deadline: 25/05/2026 Category: Oil & Gas, Engineering Services 1. INTRODUCTION Nigerian AGIP Exploration (NAE) Limited as Operator of the Zabazaba field (PML 103) and Etan (PML102) invites interested and reputable companies with relevant experience to indicate an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) services of Subsea Production System (SPS) for the Zabazaba and Etan development project. Zabazaba and Etan deepwater fields are located at about 140 kilometers offshore Nigeria in water depths of up to 2000 meters. The two fields are about 40km apart with a seafloor canyon between them. Development will be phased considering Zabazaba (PML103) first and then Etan (PML102). The development concept is based on a new hub, with a standalone spread moored FPSO with nameplate oil processing capacity of 150 kbopd and 1.7 MMbbls (minimum) nominal storage capacity. The subsea network consists of 7 subsea horizontal tree systems, manifold systems, production and water injection risers and flowlines including a gas export line. The Zabazaba development will be through a deepwater subsea network consisting of 15 production and 7 water injection wells, 27km of production flowlines and risers, 15km of water injection flowline and risers, 140km gas export pipeline and flowline and a 40km umbilical system (note: lengths provide here are approximate and will be subject to respondents final field layout development). The scope of the EPC for SPS (WP-4), subject of this EOI request, includes the production and injection tree system and manifolds, tie-in connection system, subsea distribution hardware and the subsea control system. NAE hereby invites only capable, reputable and competent Nigerian and International Companies (herein referred as Respondents) with the requisite and demonstrable expertise, experience, skilled manpower and technology to a response in accordance with this notice for expression of interest. Thereafter, for those companies meeting NAE requirements, shortlisting and inclusion in the bid list. Please visit the Nigerian Petroleum Exchange Portal www.nipex-ng.com for further details. 2.
