The contract, awarded by Swiber Offshore Construction, covers the supply of 12 flexible flowlines totalling 19 kilometres long.
The pipes will be used by Brunei Shell for its Champion field, which is being redeveloped to increase production.
“This award is an important milestone for Technip as it confirms the cost-effectiveness of the flexible pipe solution for shallow-water field redevelopment in Asia,” Technip stated.
The company said it also reinforced its position as the primary flexible pipes supplier in the Asia Pacific region.
The contract will be executed by Technip’s operating centre in Kuala Lumpur, with the flowlines being manufactured at the company’s Asiaflex Products plant in Tanjung Langsat, Malaysia.
It is planned for completion in the first semester of 2013.
Brunei Shell’s Champion field is located 40 kilometres offshore Brunei at a water depth of 45 metres.
The Champion WaterFlood project, divided into brownfield and greenfield sections, will be carried out in several phases and aims to increase oil recovery from the field.
Technip is also performing engineering work for the potential exploitation of new gas condensate reserves at the Total-operated Block B, off Brunei Darussalam. - Upstream
