Technip was awarded two contracts, worth a substantial total value, to supply flexible pipes for the Egina field operated by Total Upstream Nigeria Ltd, offshore Nigeria.
These contracts cover the qualification and supply of:
– 12 dynamic flexible jumpers from 3.5″ to 12.5″ for oil production, gas lift, water injection and gas export, to connect the single top tension risers to the floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO),
– two 20.5” unbonded flexible pipes as oil offloading lines (OOL) connecting the FPSO to the offloading buoy,
– associated ancillary equipment.
Flexi France, the Group’s facility in Le Trait, will manufacture the flexible pipes which are scheduled to be delivered in 2015 for the jumpers and in 2016 for the OOL.
Jean-François Niel, Technip’s Vice President Manufacturing , declared: “These contracts cover complex dynamic applications and include the largest flexible pipes manufactured to date by Technip, confirming our leading position for the supply of high-specification and large-diameter flexible pipes.”
As announced on July 4, Technip’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DUCO Ltd, was also awarded an important contract by Upstream Nigeria Ltd to supply umbilicals for the same project. These awards reinforce Technip’s long-term industrial footprint in West Africa and the presence in the Nigerian buoyant subsea market, where they have been active for more than 30 years.
