Pioneering Spirit Completes Infield Pipelay Work at BP’s LNG Scheme
the infield pipelay scope for BP’s ultra-deepwater Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) liquified natural gas project offshore Mauritania and Senegal.Two months after arriving in the field, production crew welded, scanned and field joint coated the final piece of pipe for the second 16-inch export gas line.Safely landed in a 2-metre target box at 2400-meter water depth, the pipeline will be recovered in J-mode configuration to install the termination assembly.To make this happen, the vessel aft has been fitted with a bespoke J-mode frame with a 1000-tonne load capacity, which was designed, built and
Mooring Change-out for the Alba FSU
Platform, and the Alba Extreme South subsea production center added in 2001.Alba crude oil is offloaded from the stern of the FSU to a shuttle tanker approximately once per month before being transported to refineries in northwest Europe. Alba gas is used for fuel and the platform is also connected by a gas line to the Britannia platform in which Chevron holds a nonoperated working interest, via a 4-kilometer pipeline.In 2018 Alba produced a net daily average of 11,770 barrels of liquids. Since first production in 1994, it has produced over 428 million barrels of oil
Tracerco Scores Subsea Inspection Work
another export pipeline to assess whether there has been any further degradation to the pipe wall thickness since the initial inspection in 2015. This data will be used as part of an ongoing pipeline life time assessment program.In the GoM, Discovery will be used to inspect the flowline and riser of a gas line for potential integrity issues and to look for potential condensate hold-up. Discovery will also be used in the GoM to obtain initial critical baseline integrity data on a new pipeline system. Discovery will then be deployed annually to reinspect the new pipeline system to identify potential corrosion
Liberty Wins North Sea Pipe Contract
comeback of the mills, which suffered badly during the downturn in the steel industry over recent years, has seen job numbers grow from 120 up to 200 over the past few months.This latest Subsea7 order will provide pipe for the Shell Shearwater FGL Re-Plumb Project, designed to channel gas to the Fulmar gas line, via the recently installed Catcher PLEM, for flow to the St. Fergus terminal. Gas is currently transported from the Shearwater C well to the Bacton onshore processing terminal in Norfolk via the SEAL pipeline.Coated pipe from Hartlepool will be dispatched by ship to the Shawcor concrete coating
DeepWater Buoyancy Adds Gulf Coast Representation
Buoyancy secured the designs and manufacturing rights to a select group of former Flotation Technologies oceanographic and oil and gas products, and has been manufacturing and enhancing those systems from its facility in Biddeford, Maine since 2013. Waters & David will represent the oil and gas line which consists of products for the survey, seismic, ROV and installation markets. Products include marker floats, cable floats, instrument collars, installation buoyancy and ROV/skid buoyancy. In addition to the standard product line, which has over 30 years of proven syntactic foam
