Total Gabon has awarded Bourbon its first pipelay contract as part of the Hylia water injection project, according to a news release.
Bourbon will provide the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of 25 km (16 miles) of 6-in. rigid pipeline. The project will utilize Zap-Lok technology. Bourbon said it is using subcontractors—including Cortez Subsea for pipelay equipment and Wood Group for the pipeline design and pipelay engineering—to execute the contract.
