Subsea 7 has won four contracts from Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG project operator Chevron as well as from Inpex for the Ichthys LNG project for the engineering, procurement and construction of an emergency pipeline repair system offshore Australia.
The engineering company announced that the scope of work consists of developing a process of repair, including both equipment and contingency procedures to support the Chevron-operated pipelines located off the north and northwest coasts of Australia.
The company said the pipelines are located in various water depths of up to 1,350 m and are up to 44 inches in diameter. The contracts comprise design, fabrication and procurement of repair equipment and development of repair methodologies and procedures that will be available during the life of the Chevron and Inpex operated assets.
Subsea 7 said project management, engineering and procurement would commence immediately from Subsea 7’s office in Perth, with support from Subsea 7’s intervention and autonomous system specialists in Aberdeen. Site integration testing is due to be completed by 2017.
