The Saipem 7000 is a semi-submersible crane and pipelaying vessel operating within the Saipem fleet. The unit is designed to support complex offshore projects through heavy-lift operations, offshore structure installation, subsea works and J-lay pipelaying activities. Equipped with an advanced dynamic positioning system, two main cranes with a lifting capacity of up to 14,000 t in tandem lift, and pipelaying capability in water depths exceeding 2,000 m, the Saipem 7000 is deployed on conventional, deepwater and ultra-deepwater offshore projects worldwide.

The expansion of Western Desert Gas Complex (WDGC) is located in El-Amreya, Alexandria, Egypt. Once operational, the new Train D will increase WDGC’s production capacity to 1.5 bcfd, up from the current 950 MMcfd, with a capacity of 600 MMcfd. This expansion will not only boost the supply of ethane-propane mixture for Egyptian petrochemical producers but also increase WDGC’s production of LPG and condensates for the local market.
