Subsea7 S.A. announced the award of a sizeable contract by Talos Energy for the Sunspear development in Green Canyon Block 78, in the Gulf of Mexico. The project involves the subsea tie back of one production well at Sunspear to the Prince platform, 12 kilometres to the north. Subsea7 will install the flowline and related subsea equipment at 500 metre water depths.

Subsea7's Houston office will oversee project management and installation engineering, with offshore work scheduled to begin later this year.
