Technip gets BP Thunder Horse gig

BP awarded Technip a lump sum project for the design, engineering, fabrication, installation and pre-commissioning of the new production pipeline systems on the south side of the Thunder Horse production drilling quarters unit in the Gulf of Mexico.

Thunder Horse is located in 1900m water depth, in Mississippi Canyon Blocks 778 and 822, in the ultra deepwater Gulf of Mexico environment.

The project scope covers:

  • Project management and engineering,
  • Coating, fabrication, installation and permanent anchoring of two rigid production flowlines of 3.25km each with four pipeline end terminations,
  • Pre-commissioning and testing.

Technip's operating center in Houston, Texas will perform the overall project management. The infield flowlines will be welded at the Group’s spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama. The offshore installation is expected to be performed in the 2H 2016 by Technip’s flag ship vessel the Deep Blue, one of the world's largest ultra deepwater pipelay and subsea construction vessel.
