Bumi Armada has struck a $134m deal with Lukoil that will see the offshore vessel owner carry out the installation of 20km of various pipelines.

The Malaysia-listed company will activate a couple of subsea construction vessels on the Filanovsky field, in the Russian sector of the Caspian Sea.

Leon Harland, chief executive of Bumi Armada, said: “Bumi Armada has been working with Lukoil in the Caspian since 2012 and this supplemental agreement highlights the continuing strong working relationship with our client, and our proven track-record to deliver high quality subsea construction services in the Caspian Sea.
