Technip was awarded a contract for the development of subsea infrastructure for the Stones project by Shell Offshore. Included in the service are two subsea production tie-backs to the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.

The contract covers: engineering of the required second pipeline end terminations (PLETs), engineering of the required second pipeline end terminations (PLETs), installation of the subsea production system, inclusive of associated project management, engineering and stalk fabrication.
Technip will leverage its integrated approach in the subsea business. Its operating centre in Houston, Texas, USA, will perform the overall project management. The flowlines will be welded at Technip’s spool base in Mobile, Alabama, USA. The offshore installation is scheduled to be performed by the Deep Blue, the Group’s flagship vessel for deep-water pipe lay.
