Technip has been awarded a contract for the decommissioning of the brownfield development and installation of subsea equipment in the Gulf of Mexico by Chevron.
The company said the lump sum project will help support a floating production system located in the Mississippi Canyon.
The work includes project management and engineering, decommissioning of existing equipment and pre-commissioning and testing.
Technip’s operating centre in Houston will perform the overall project management while the infield flowline and riser will be welded at the group’s spoolbase in Alabama.
Deanna Goodwin, president of Technip in North America, said:”We are delighted to have secured this work. Technip will utilize its unique subsea vertical integration to deliver an all-in solution for the ultra-deepwater de-commissioning of the current field to installation of the new subsea equipment.”
The offshore installation is expected to be performed in the second half of 2016 by vessels from Technip’s fleet.
The Deep Blue, one of the world’s largest ultra-deepwater pipelay and subsea construction vessel shall install the steel lazy wave riser, flowline, and gas lift umbilical, and the Global 1200, will install the manifold and foundation.
