Technip in Angola
Technip provides these services for
fixed platforms in shallow water with
conventional sub-structures and self
installing platforms such as the TPG
500 and for deepwater facilities
including Spar, semi-submersible, TLP,
FPSO and FLNG units. Technip is a
world leader in floatover installation
of topsides and its R&D effort is
focused on technology transfer for
local content and new frontier areas
such as ultra-deepwater and
the Arctic.
Technip is also one of the key actors
in refining and petrochemical units,
and has developed a leadership in
the fertilizer industry. Moreover, the
Group is very active in non-energy
activities such as mining and metals,
life sciences, buildings and
infrastructures.

Lobito
In Angola, the Group's
ambition is to be the
local Engineering
Contractor of choice,
serving oil companies
for the development
of new and existing
fields.
Technip has been active in Angola since
the early 1970s and has formalised its
presence by establishing offices and
industrial facilities.
Technip Angola Engenharia
Limitada
Technip Angola Engenharia Limitada is
the first engineering company established in Angola, in June 2000 through
a partnership between the Angolan
State Oil company Sonangol (40%) and
Technip (60%). It provides engineering
services to offshore and downstream
oil and gas activities in Angola, and
promotes the Group's subsea capabilities for deepwater developments.
70% of its personnel is directly involved
in engineering and project management. Angolan nationals represent 70%
of the staff, and are integrated at all
levels. Its core of engineers have been
trained in France at the Technip head-
quarters. Engineers and designers
benefit from regular on-the-job training. The company strives to actively
participate in the development of
Angola (infrastructures, industries etc.),
involving its personnel in the reconstruction of the country.
Built on a green site, it benefits the
local economy through its support of
base life and local employment.
Angoflex further boosts Angolan participation through the transfer of new
technologies. An expansion into an
Industrial Base is under consideration.
Angoflex - Lobito
umbilical manufacturing
plant
Quality, Health, Safety and
the Environment
Angoflex Limitada was created in
March 2002 through an association
between Sonangol EP (30%) and
Technip (70%) with the main objective
of investing, building and operating an
umbilical factory located within the
Lobito fabrication yard. This unique
facility uses state-of-the-art technology to produce top quality steel tube
umbilicals for deepwater developments offshore Angola. The Angoflex
presence is contributing to the rapid
economic growth of both the
Benguela Province and the Angolan
economy.
This factory employs approx. 180
people (95% are Angolans). Its core
production personnel completed an
extensive training program in Brazil, in
the USA and UK, at Technip's other
manufacturing plants.
Angoflex - Dande
spoolbase
The Angoflex spoolbase was inaugurated in March 2006 and is located in
Dande. It is the Group's newest spoolbase. This facility manufactures rigid
pipelines for reel-lay installation of
deepwater oil and gas production
systems. It is the most advanced facility of its kind built in Africa, and
includes state-of-the-art equipment.
The health and safety of personnel
working on job sites, as well as environmental protection are Technip's
foremost priorities with local communities. At every stage of project execution, these concerns, together with
Quality, are taken into consideration
and are an integral part of operations.
QHS&E Management was integrated
from the start into the Lobito umbilical manufacturing plant and the Dande
spoolbase procedures as the key to
safe and efficient operations and to
continuously improving performance.
BVQI awarded its ISO 9001:2000
certification to the Lobito plant at
the start of operations in 2004 and
renewed it in 2007 and 2009 proving
its sustainability. The Dande Spoolbase
was also awarded its ISO 9001-2008 in
June 2010.At the end of 2010, Angoflex
Lobito reached the 1.5 million manhours
LTI free milestone.
Social initiatives
Angoflex keeps close ties with local
communities in Lobito and Dande and
regularly takes initiatives to help them
in the health or education sectors.
In 2009 in Dande, the company
provided an ambulance to a local
hospital and a school renovation
project is ongoing. Angoflex is also actively involved in fighting malaria and
cholera.

Technip Angola
Engenharia Limitada
Created in May 2000, through a partnership between the Angolan
State Oil Company Sonangol (40%) and the Technip group (60%),
it is the first engineering company ever established in Angola.
Technip Angola Engenharia Limitada
This venture came as a response to the desire of Technip,
Sonangol and the Angolan Authorities, to develop the
transfer of know-how to Angola and to increase the involvement of local firms in industrial projects.
This engineering company has been operational since June
2001, after training its Angolan engineers in France at the
Institut Français du Pétrole -IFP- and at Technip headquarters. Additionally, regular on-the-job training is provided to
engineers and designers either locally or through mobilisation within overseas project teams (USA, France) to participate in the Group’s major engineering projects worldwide.

The Angoflex Lobito umbilical factory
The plant manufactures steel tube umbilicals for
subsea oil and gas production systems.
The plant, the only one of its kind in Africa, comprises all
machinery for umbilical fabrication to international standards.
ISO 9001: 2000 certification was completed by Bureau Veritas
in March 2004 and renewed in 2007 and in 2009.
Angoflex Lobito employs approximately 180 people (95%
are Angolans). The core production personnel for this factory
completed an extensive training program in Brazil, in the USA
and in the UK, at Technip other manufacturing plants.
Plant expansion
The expansion of this state-of-the-art umbilical plant is
scheduled to be completed in 2010 to meet the growing
demand for longer length and larger diameter products on
the West African market. It will include:
the installation of two large manufacturing carousels
an upgrade to a Helical lay-up machine
a load-out roller path
Product range and capability
By tapping into the considerable design expertise available
within the Technip group, Angoflex Lobito is able to provide
a range of umbilicals adapted to West African deepwater
developments.
Umbilical assemblies are made of steel tubes, electrical cables
and optical fibres:
Central cores up to:
220 mm outer diameter (OD) assembly
85 mm OD central steel tube
Up to 12 components and 12 fillers in a single pass:
steel tubes up to 45 mm OD
electrical cables
Final umbilical up to 250 mm OD and 100 kg/m weight
Umbilical unit length / weight dictated by reel capacity
and locally available lifting capability
future capacity increase by adding manufacturing
carousels
Angoflex Lobito complements Technip’s other umbilical
engineering and manufacturing units in Newcastle (UK),
in Houston (USA) and in Malaysia.
