Technip has been awarded by Stone Energy Corp. both a flexible pipe supply contract and an installation contract for the Amethyst Field, located on Mississippi Canyon 26, in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), according to a press release.

The first contract includes the detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, assembly and testing of a 5-in. production static riser that is almost 9 km (5.6 miles) long as well as all associated hardware.

The second award covers the installation of the pipe as a tieback to the Pompano fixed platform, in about 395 m (1,296 ft) of water depth.

Technip’s operating center in Houston, Texas, will manage the project, which is scheduled to be completed during the second half of 2015.

The group will leverage its unique vertical position in the subsea business for the GoM contracts. The flexible pipe will be manufactured at the group’s Asiaflex Products plant located in Tanjung Langsat, Malaysia. It will be installed using the Deep Blue, Technip’s deepwater pipelay vessel.
