Subsea 7 and Tata Steel entered multiple contracts in which Tata Steel will supply undersea pipes to four separate projects in the North Sea.
The contracts, signed in the last 12 months, are worth approximately US$13.4 million in total. According to the agreement, Tata Steel will supply in excess of 55km of pipe weighing more than 9000-tonne.
Tata Steel will supply around 28km of carrier pipe, more than 27km of sleeve pipe, girth welding and triple jointing and the application of glass flake epoxy pipe coating. Welding and coating will take place at the company’s offshore processing centre in Hartlepool, UK.
With the forecast for high growth in the coming years in areas such as the subsea, umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) market, the future for operational activity looks promising.
“This latest series of contracts further demonstrates the breadth of our offering as a company, over the last 25 years we have provided more than 83,000 tonnes of pipe to Subsea 7 over the course of 37 projects worldwide,” says Richard Broughton, Tata Steel exploration and production commercial manager. “From production to engineering our ability to consistently add value to the services we provide is what sets us apart in the market place.”
