HOUSTON -- A riser and flowline monitoring contract has been awarded to 2H Offshore Inc. for Chevron's Tahiti Project.

The contract involves system design, equipment supply, integration, and deployment. 2H will provide riser monitoring instrumentation for production riser hang-off and touchdown regions, and strain and motion measurements. The flowline monitoring system will measure flowline buckling shape, and local temperature and hoop and axial strain.

The RFM system design life of 10 years is an industry first and all the subsea sensors, electronics systems and communication cables are configured with double redundancy. The system will be fully integrated with Tahiti's data network, which allows data monitoring from shore.
