New pipelaying vessel leads to contractsÂ
Global Industries is a provider of offshore construction, engineering, project management and support services including pipeline construction, platform installation and removal, deepwater/SURF installations, IRM, and diving to the oil and gas industry worldwide.
In October the firm’s wholly owned subsidiary, Global Offshore International, won a contract from Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE) to perform the Al Jalilah Platform and Pipelines EPC project.
The project, which was slated for completion in the first half of 2011, covers the design, construction and installation of a basic, unmanned offshore wellhead platform, one 27 km x 6″ gas lift pipeline, and one 27 km x 12″ oil production pipeline to one of Dubai Petroleum’s existing offshore processing facilities.
Global intends to use its newly built Global 1200 deepwater derrick pipelay vessel for the project.Â
John Reed, Global’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “we continue to see many opportunities for the broad capabilities of this unique vessel. This project award also represents a significant step for Global as we work to position ourselves as a significant player in the Middle East, a crucial oil and gas market. We look forward to working for Dubai Petroleum on this project and many more in the future.”
