Technip has been awarded a brownfield subsea contract for the Triton FPSO vessel, operated by Dana Petroleum, in the central North Sea, Technip said in a news release.
The vessel, located 193 km (120 miles) east of Aberdeen at a water depth of about 90 m (295 ft), produces oil and gas from the Bittern, Guillemot West and North West, Clapham, Pict and Saxon fields. The fields are tied back to the FPSO vessel via subsea facilities comprising a series of pipelines and manifolds, the release said.
As part of replacement of existing subsea assets, Technip’s scope of work covers project management and engineering, including:
- Installation of two flexible risers;
- Fabrication and installation of one dynamic umbilical riser;
- Removal and recovery of existing assets at the FPSO vessel and
- Additional installation, repair and maintenance works, Technip said in the release.
Technip’s operating center in Aberdeen, UK, will execute this contract. Technip Umbilicals will manufacture the umbilical at its plant in Newcastle, UK, while the group’s diving support vessel Orelia will undertake the installation campaign, according to the release.
