The project, which has a completion deadline of 12 months, involves the installation of three smart well platforms along with three rigid and flexible pipelines, as well as sub-sea cables.

IOEC is Iran’s first offshore general contractor. It designs, supplies, constructs and installs sub-sea pipelines along with fixed process platforms.

The company plans to extend its oil, gas and petrochemical activities to upstream and downstream projects in both onshore and offshore areas.
