Technip awarded subsea
contract in Gulf of Mexico
TECHNIP, France, has been awarded two lump sum contracts
by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation as unit operator for the
Caesar/Tonga oil field development in the Gulf of Mexico. This
field is located 190 miles (300 kilometers) from New Orleans
(in Green Canyon Blocks 683, 726, 727 and 770), in water
depths of around 1,500 meters (5,100 feet). It will be tied back
to the Constitution Spar platform.
The first contract covers the design and supply of the
components for four pipe/inpipe flowlines and the installation of
these flowlines, representing a total of 27 miles (43 kilometers).
It also includes the design, fabrication and installation of eight
pipeline-end terminations (PLETs).
This development will use the pipe-in-pipe technology, which
provides insulation and flow assurance for effective production
in deep and ultra-deep water. Offshore installation will be carried
out with Deep Blue, Technip’s deepwater pipelay vessel.
The second contract covers the project management,
engineering and fabrication of two control umbilicals and their
termination hardware.
