Technip has been awarded a lump sum contract, worth approximately $US29 million, by Lundin Britain Limited to extend a pipeline at the Broom field in the United Kingdom’s North Sea.
Located 320 km northeast of Aberdeen, Scotland, the Broom field is tied back to the Heather Alpha platform. The new pipeline will extend the existing Broom subsea infrastructure.
The scope of works outlined in the contract includes; the design, fabrication and installation of a pipe-in-pipe production flowline which will be trenched and backfilled; tying in a short section of pipe for the connection of two subsea structures; and repositioning of flexible pipes used to transfer produced fluids from the seabed to surface facilities.
Two vessels from the Technip fleet will be used for the offshore installation campaign: the Orelia diving support vessel and the Apache II pipelay vessel. The pipelines will be welded at Technip’s Spoolbase in Evanton, Scotland.
The contract is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2010.
