Technip was awarded by Swiber Offshore Construction a flexible pipe supply contract for the Brunei Shell Petroleum’s Champion field, 40 km offshore Brunei in a water depth of 45 m (147 ft).

The contract covers the supply of 12 flexible flowlines, with a total length of 19 km.

Brunei Shell Petroleum will use these flexible pipes to increase the existing Champion field production by redeveloping it. The Champion WaterFlood project, divided into brown field and green field, will be carried out in several phases and will aim at increasing oil recovery from the field.

Technip’s operating center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will execute the contract, which is scheduled to be completed in the first semester of 2013. The flexible flowlines will be manufactured at Technip’s Asiaflex Products plant in Tanjung Langsat, Malaysia.
