A committed and reliable partner for the development of
the Oil & Gas industry in Angola
Technip has been working in Angola for over 40 years,
through a combination of strong local presence and heavy
involvement from its international entities.
Wherever we operate, we deliver projects to the highest
Quality, Safety and Ethics standards, with strong
commitment to Sustainable Development of the
environment and people. Technip’s operations in Angola
adhere to these same principles. We strive to create value
for our clients, for the Angolan industry and communities
as well as for our long term partner in Angola, Sonangol.
Our objective is to continue to bring added value to the
Angolan Oil & Gas industry by delivering exceptional
projects by providing technological solutions and products,
as well as project management and engineering expertise
in all of our sectors of activity: Subsea, Offshore and
Onshore.
Jointly with Sonangol, Technip has invested in a unique
combination of ventures in Angola since 2000:
The first and the largest project management and
engineering office in Angola: Technip Angola Eng. Ltda, a
Joint-venture with Sonangol.
The only umbilical plant in Africa, located in Lobito, recently upgraded with 2 new storage carousels.
The only permanent spoolbase in Africa, located in
Dande which is the longest spoolbase in the world.
Key to our strategy is the maximization of high-end
Angolan Content, not only in terms of employment and
investments, but also in terms of know-how transfer and
training programs to contribute actively to the economic
and social growth of Angola.
Thanks to these partnerships, Technip has executed
numerous projects in Angola, bringing state-of-the-art
technologies and unmatched Angolan content. Examples
are Dalia UFR and Pazflor UFR for Total E&P Angola using
IPB flexible riser technology; Block 31 PSVM for BP Angola
with the first rigid pipelines with plastic liner fabricated in
Angola; all manufacturing of umbilicals for CLOV and the
first Subsea EPCI managed from Angola for Total E&P
Angola with the GirRI 1 and 2 SURF projects and more
recently, Kaombo for Total E&P Angola, one of the largest
subsea contract ever.
In addition, Technip is actively implementing social
responsibility initiatives in collaboration with local
authorities in order to effectively contribute to the needs
of Angolan communities in important areas such as health
care, education and social development.
In Angola, we demonstrate our company

Angoflex Industrial Limitada
Angoflex Industrial Limitada was created in March 2002 through an association
between Sonangol (30%) and Technip (70%) with the objective of investing,
building and operating an umbilical factory located within the Lobito
fabrication yard. The Dande Base was inaugurated in 2006.
Execution capabilities
The Lobito umbilical plant is dedicated to the
manufacturing of umbilicals cables.
The plant has a capacity to produce the
following types of umbilicals:
Water injections
Production umbilicals
Control umbilicals
Static & dynamic umbilicals
The umbilicals manufactured in Angola are
STU (Steel Tube Umbilicals) with the following
components available to be assembled: Super
Duplex tubes, Electrical Cables (signal and
power) and Fiber Optics.
Plant expansion
The Angoflex Lobito umbilical factory
This unique facility uses state-of-the-art technology to produce top
quality steel tube umbilicals for deepwater development offshore
Angola. The core production personnel completed an extensive training
program at Technip’s other manufacturing plants in Brazil, in the USA
and UK. The factory employs approximately 200 people, of which more
than 90% are Angolans. Angoflex is contributing to the rapid economic
growth of both the Benguela Province and the Angolan economy.
The capabilities of the plant have
been signficantly extended, in terms
of volume and complexity of
umbilicals being manufactured

Technip in Angola
The expansion of this state-of-the-art
umbilical plant was completed in 2013 to
meet the growing demand for longer lenthg
and larger diameter products on the West
African and worldwide markets.
It included:
The installation of two 2,500 tons
carousels
An upgrade to a Helical lay-up machine
A load-out roller path
Acquisition of two under rollers
New over-head crane
Angoflex Lobito complements Technip’s
other umbilical engineering and
manufacturing units in Newcastle (UK), in
Houston (USA) and in Malaysia.
The Angoflex Dande Base
The Angoflex Dande base was inaugurated in March 2006.
It is located in Dande, about 40 km north of Luanda on
780,000 m² of secure property.
The facility manufactures rigid pipeline for reel-lay
installation of deepwater oil and gas production systems.
It has a unique 600-meter long jetty, with depths of up to
12 meters at the bulkheads. When in full production, the
workforce averages 200 people. Accommodation and full
catering facilities for 400 people are provided on-site, in
addition to a medical clinic.
The Technip Group operates four other spoolbase
facilities in Mobile, Alabama (USA), Evanton (UK), Orkanger
(Norway) and Barra do Riacho (Brazil).
Product range & capability
The Dande spoolbase has the ability to pre-fabricate pipe
stalks up to 3 km in length, which minimises tie-in welds,
and the time needed to load pipe onto the Deep Blue
reel pipelay vessel. This capability is unmatched by any
other spoolbase in the world.
Ability to handle single or double joints
Pipe stalks length to 3 km
Pipe-in-pipe for production flow assurance
Plastic-lined pipe for water injection corrosion
protection
A workshop for the fabrication of subsea structures
