Technip to supply high technological flexible pipes
for Tupi BV Iracema
North pre-salt field
Nov 21, 2014 + + + Confirming its expertise and innovation in
deepwater and leveraging its new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in
Açu, Brazil.
Technip was awarded a contract from Tupi BV, a
consortium controlled by Petrobras Netherland BV (PNBV, 65%) and
constituted also by BG (25%) and Galp (10%), for the ongoing development
of the Iracema North field, located in the Santos Basin pre-salt area,
Brazil.
Aiming to meet pre-salt challenges, the contract covers the
supply of 114 kilometers of flexible pipes, including: gas lift, gas
injection and gas export lines.
Technip’s operating center in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, will perform the engineering and project management.
The highly technological flexible pipes are designed to meet Petrobras’
requested service life for up to 30 years, sour service application, water
depths of up to 2,500 meters and high pressures to inject gas in the
reservoir (gas injection pipes). Delivery is scheduled to start in the
first half of 2015.
The flexible pipes will be produced at
Technip's manufacturing sites of Vitoria and Açu, the new state-of-the-art
plant of the Group, which has already delivered its first products for the
pre-salt developments in Brazil.
Adriano Novitsky, President of
Technip in Brazil, commented: “This award confirms the flexible pipe as a
reliable and optimized solution for the pre-salt challenging applications
and Technips´ technological leadership in this business. It follows the
flexible pipe supply contract awarded last year for the Iracema Sul
field.”
