FMC Technologies, Inc. has signed an agreement with Woodside Energy Ltd. for the design, manufacture and supply of subsea production systems to support the Greater Western Flank (GWF) Phase 1 Project. The contract has a value of approximately US$ 150 million.

The GWF Phase 1 Project will develop the Goodwyn GH and Tidepole fields, and represents the next major development for the Woodside operated North West Shelf Project offshore Australia. The GWF fields are located in water depths of 70 - 130 m. FMC's scope of supply includes six subsea production trees, six wellheads, two manifolds, subsea and topside controls and flowline connection systems. Deliveries are expected to commence in the second half of 2012 and continue through 2013.

"Greater Western Flank becomes the most recent addition to the many Woodside projects that FMC supports under our existing frame agreement," said Tore Halvorsen, FMC's Senior Vice President, Global Subsea Production Systems.
