FMC Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FTI) announced today that it has signed a
five-year agreement with ConocoPhillips Scandinavia AS for the supply of
subsea equipment and services for a water injection development in the
Ekofisk field. The development is a replacement of the existing Ekofisk

The contract, valued at approximately $120 million, includes the project
management, engineering, procurement, manufacture and delivery of subsea
equipment and offshore support services for eight subsea trees. The
contract also has an option for an additional seven subsea trees and
future provisions for up to a total of fifty subsea trees.

Norwegian North Sea in approximately 230 feet (70 meters) of water. FMC
Technologies’ scope of supply includes subsea
water injection trees, wellheads, templates, associated control systems
with a hydraulic power unit, 4-slot hosts, tie-in and connection
equipment, an umbilical, sea line protection equipment, completion tools

oil and gas in Europe since the field was first developed,”
said Tore Halvorsen, FMC Technologies' Senior Vice President of Global
