Oceaneering International secured a contract in December 2014 from Hess Corp. to supply the umbilicals and umbilical distribution hardware for the Stampede project in the Green Canyon area of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, according to a news release.
The hardware will be used to transmit hydraulic control fluids, chemicals and electrical power signals to operate and monitor subsea wells and manifolds. The order is for electro-hydraulic, steel tube umbilicals totaling approximately 14.3 km (8.9 miles) in length, umbilical termination assemblies, hydraulic and chemical distribution units, electrical distribution units, flying leads, and junction plates, the release said.
Oceaneering plans to manufacture the umbilicals at its plant in Panama City, Florida, and to manufacture the distribution hardware at its facilities in Houston. Umbilical production is expected to commence in second-quarter 2015, with delivery scheduled for mid-2016.
