PARIS –Technip (Paris:TEC) has won a lump sum engineering, procurement, commissioning, and installation (EPCI) contract from BG International Ltd. to develop the Starfish field. Starfish is in the East Coast Marine Area offshore Trinidad in 130 m (426 ft.) of water.
The field will be tied back to the existing Dolphin “A” platform operated by BG.
The EPCI contract covers project management, detailed design, and procurement of a 14-in. 10-km concrete coated production flowline, an 11-km control umbilical, riser and spoolpiece tie-ins, and four flexible jumpers.
Technip also will install a subsea manifold and possibly a topsides high integrity pipeline protection system to come from BG.
Offshore installation is expected in mid-2014 with theG1200 as the primary installation vessel for all pipelay, umbilical lay, and heavy lift operations. Diving and construction will be completed by one of Technip’s diving support vessels, supported by the diving division also coming from Global Industries.
Technip's operating center in Houston will perform overall project management with detailed design by Genesis. The umbilical will be manufactured by Technip’s Duco Inc. facility in Channelview, Texas, and the flexible jumpers will be manufactured by Technip’s Flexi France plant in Le Trait, France.
