00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.360
It's a great personal sense of achievement

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:10.040
to be here with the team.

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.400
We've overcome many, many challenges.

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:20.520
We are at the Saipem construction site
on Karimun Island, Indonesia

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.360
The upper deck of the Neptun Alpha
production platform,

00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:28.400
weighing approximately 9,000 tonnes,

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:34.200
is being built, is on schedule and will be
delivered according to the execution deadline.

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:43.520
This platform will treat natural gas,

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:46.160
in order to ensure the necessary quality

00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:48.400
for the transport of natural gas,

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.080
through the national transmission system

00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:54.640
and distribution systems to end customers.

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.680
It's really exciting to witness the progress
here at the Karimun yard today.

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:00.480
The main structure is essentially complete,

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:04.000
and the majority of the equipment
 is now in its final location on the decks.

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.280
The Neptun Deep project
is a transformational one,

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.120
both for Romania and for ROMGAZ.

00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:20.400
A project of strategic importance for Romania

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:24.800
and also for the regional energy security.

00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:37.400
It’s a pleasure to see a highly dedicated
team of professionals on site,

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:40.200
ensuring that progress stays on schedule.

00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:43.040
The teams are now completing
the installation of the pipework

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.240
and pulling 330km of cable needed
to energise the platform

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:49.440
and bring it to life.

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.560
We've planned and prepared for approximately

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.640
25,000 tests that need to be done
as part of the safe delivery

00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.840
of the completion and
pre-commissioning phase.

00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:01.600
With each day of executing this plan,
we move closer to the load out

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:02.720
and sail away milestones,

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.440
and we're on track to see the platform in
the Black Sea in Romania in 2026.

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:17.320
We are also on course to deliver gas
according to the schedule in 2027.

00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:23.680
I would like to take this opportunity to
thank our local and international partners,

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.760
the local team for the dedicated work,

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:31.920
and also the team from Romania,

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:35.920
which ensures the progress
according to the schedule.

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.440
Several thousands of people
all coming together

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:41.000
to put this one element together.

00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:44.080
Looking at the progress made in Karimun,

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:47.320
 we are incredibly proud of what
has been accomplished by everyone.

00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:51.440
This is a project of regional importance,
developed by two Romanian companies

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:56.080
and strengthened by the expertise of teams
from across Europe, Asia and North America.

00:02:57.160 --> 00:03:01.360
Our work here reflects the power
of true international collaboration.

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.480
To everyone involved, thank you for
your dedication and professionalism.

00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:11.080
Together, we’re delivering a project that will
enable energy security for Romania and the region.

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:14.920
A project that we can all
feel really proud of.
