· Pre-commissioning and testing.

Technip's operating center in Houston will perform the overall project management. The infield flowline and riser will be welded at the group’s spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama. The offshore installation is expected to be performed in the second half of 2016 by vessels from Technip’s fleet. TheDeep Blue, ultra-deepwater pipelay and subsea construction vessel will install the steel lazy wave riser, flowline, and gas lift umbilical, and the Global 1200, will install the manifold and foundation.
