Deep Down, Inc., a specialist in complex deep-water oil and gas distribution equipment and services, announced that it has received an order from Shell for work related to its Kaikias development in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
The order is for the design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation of a Riser Isolation Valve control system on the Ursa tension-leg platform (TLP). The Ursa TLP is located in the Mississippi Canyon Block 810, approximately 130 miles from the coast of Louisiana, in water depth of 4,500 ft.
