Technip was awarded a contract by Chevron North America Exploration and Production for the development of the Jack & St-Malo fields, located in the Walker Ridge area of the Gulf of Mexico at a water depth of approximately 7,000 feet (2,100 metres).
The contract covers the engineering, fabrication and subsea installation of more than 53 miles (85 kilometers) of 10.75” outer diameter flowlines, steel catenary risers, pipeline end terminations, manifolds, pump stations and tie-in skids.
Technip’s operating centre in Houston, Texas will perform the overall project management. The flowlines and risers will be welded at the Group’s spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama. Offshore installation is scheduled to be completed by the Deep Blue, Technip’s deepwater pipelay vessel, in 2013.
Earlier this month Technip was awarded a similar contract by Enbridge Offshore Facilities for the development of the Walker Ridge gas gathering system in the Gulf of Mexico.
