Subsea 7 has received a pipeline bundle contract award for the ConocoPhillips Jasmine discovery in the Central North Sea. The Subsea 7 workscope includes engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning of two 4km pipeline bundle systems and associated pipe-in-pipe spools. The new Jasmine facilities will be in water depths up to 85m located approximately 8.5km west of the existing Judy Production Platform in J-Block, Central North Sea. Each of the bundles consists of a 16″ production pipeline inside a 20″ sleeve pipeline, housed within a 35″ outer carrier pipe. The bundle system will join the new Jasmine Wellhead Platform (JWHP) to the new Judy Riser Platform (JRP). The bundle system will be installed using controlled depth tow methodology (CDTM). Also included in the contract is the installation of a 9km communications and power cable connecting the JRP with the Jasmine Living Quarters Platform and installation of two 300m control umbilicals connecting the subsea isolation valves, integrated within the bundle towheads, to the JRP and JWHP. Subsea 7 will also carry out tie-ins to existing risers and platforms and testing and pre-commissioning of the complete Jasmine bundle pipeline system. Engineering and project management will be carried out at Subsea 7’s office in Aberdeen and fabrication will take place at Subsea 7’s bundle fabrication worksite in Wick, North Scotland. Offshore operations are scheduled to commence in Q2 2012.
