HOUSTON --Amberjack Pipeline Co. LLC has awarded JP Kenny the detail design contract for an oil export pipeline at Jack/St. Malo in deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
The 136-mi-long 24-in pipeline is to start in 2,100 m (7,000 ft) of water at Chevron’s Jack/St. Malo production hub in Walker Ridge block 718 and connect to the Shell Boxer A fixed platform at Green Canyon block 19.
Kenny says the design must allow address routing of the pipeline to minimize spans, design for pre- and post-installation vortex-induced vibration and stress spans, collapse testing of the pipe to verify wall thickness design, and installation of in-line valves and sleds.
