Luxembourg - February 7, 2013 - Subsea 7 S.A. (Oslo 
Børs: SUBC) today announced the award of a contract 
from Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Ltd for 
the development of the Erha North field, located 
offshore Nigeria in water depths between 1,000 metres 
and 1,200 metres. The contract was awarded to a 
consortium of West African Ventures Ltd and Subsea 
7's Nigerian subsidiary.

Subsea 7's scope of work includes the engineering, 
procurement, fabrication and installation of 25 
kilometres of flowlines, 15 kilometres of umbilicals, 
and seventeen rigid jumpers. The scope also includes 
modifications to the FPSO in order to integrate it 
with the new subsea facilities.

The project will maximize the use of local personnel 
and resources in Nigeria, in particular significant 
parts of the design will be executed in Nigeria and 
all subsea structures will be fabricated in Nigeria. 
Engineering will commence immediately with offshore 
installation scheduled to commence in early 2015, 
using the Seven Borealis and the Seven Pacific.
Olivier Carre, Senior Vice-President for Africa and 
Gulf of Mexico said: "We are delighted to be awarded 
this contract which demonstrates our partners' 
confidence in our capabilities, and underlines our 
ability to leverage local skills and assets when 
developing technological solutions for deepwater 
subsea construction. This substantial contract award 
further expands our already strong presence in West 
Africa."
