Technip wins flexible pipe contract for Malaysian project

PARIS -- Technip has been awarded an engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning contract by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) for the D18 project.

The contract covers the procurement and installation of two 8-in. water injection flexible pipes totaling 9.5 km. The flexible pipes will connect three fixed jacket platforms, which form the existing D18 infrastructure offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, at a water depth of 36 m.

This contract is part of the 5-year framework agreement that Technip signed with PETRONAS in late 2014.

Asiaflex Products, Technip’s flexible pipe manufacturing plant located in Johor, Malaysia, will execute the contract with support from Technip’s operating center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2015.

The flexible pipes will be manufactured at Asiaflex Products and the Deep Orient, one of Technip’s subsea construction vessels, will be mobilized for installation during the second half of 2015.
