Technip has been awarded by EnQuest earlier this year an engineering, procurement, installation and construction (EPCI) contract for the Kraken development located in the North Sea, according to a news release.
The development is 400 km (249 miles) northeast of Aberdeen and 130 km (81 miles) East of Shetland at a water depth of about 120 m (394 ft).
The contract covers various project management engineering and installation works, which include fabrication and pipelay of about 50 km (31 miles) of rigid pipe—25 km (16 miles) of metallurgically clad pipe and 25 km (16 miles) of HDPE lined, installation of three umbilicals totaling 14 km (9 miles), installation of 7km of flexible risers and jumpers, template and manifold installation at three drill centers, diverless tie-ins to pipelines and manifolds and pipeline flooding, hydro testing and leak testing, the release said.
Technip’s operating center in Aberdeen, Scotland, will execute the contract.
The group’s spoolbase in Evanton, Scotland, will weld and load out the rigid pipe, and Technip Umbilicals, Technip’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Newcastle, England, will manufacture the umbilical. All construction work on the project will be undertaken via diverless construction methods, the release said.
A number of vessels from the Technip fleet will be utilized for the offshore campaign, including Technip’s Deep Energy.
