Norwegian seabed-to-surface engineering and construction contractor Subsea 7 S.A. (SUBC.OS) announced Monday the award of a $80 million contract from Chevron Australia Pty Ltd (CVX) for the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project, offshore Western Australia.

-The Gorgon and Jansz umbilicals are 59km and 135km in length respectively.
-These will be transported from Europe to Australia onboard the Seven Seas, and then installed from the vessel.
