Shell Offshore Inc. has awarded Technip a contract for the development of subsea infrastructure for the Stones project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GoM).
Included in the service are two subsea production tie-backs to the FPSO vessel. The Stones Field is located in the Walker Ridge area in the GoM at a water depth of 2,930 m along the pipelay route.
The contract covers engineering of the required second pipeline end terminations (PLETs), fabrication of the PLETs and piles, and installation of the subsea production system, inclusive of associated project management, engineering and stalk fabrication.
Technip’s operating center in Houston will perform the overall project management. The flowlines will be welded at Technip’s spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama. The offshore installation is scheduled to be performed by the Deep Blue, the group’s flagship vessel for deepwater pipelay.
