Technip has received a contract from Offshore Oil Engineering Co, Ltd for pipeline installation at the Liwan 3-1 shallow water project. The project is located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, China Sea, approximately 300km South of Hong Kong, China.
With a total length of 260km, the pipeline will link the Liwan gas platform to China National Offshore Oil Corporation’s Gaolan gas plant. Technip’s scope covers the shallow water portion of the development project. It includes the installation of 160 km of 30in export oil/gas two-phase pipeline from the Liwan gas platform to a water depth of approximately 70m. Technip’s operating center in Singapore, in liaison with the project engineering office in Shekou, China, will execute the contract, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2012. The offshore installation will be carried out with the Global 1201, a flagship pipelay vessel that joined Technip’s fleet through the recent acquisition of Global Industries.
