North Sea that represent a total value of over £35 million
(€50 million).
These contracts respectively concern:

- the Rhum field, operated by BP.
The Shell Pierce project award involves the engineering, procurement,
installation and commissioning of a dynamic water injection riser,
water injection riser base, two water injection flowlines and two
water injection manifolds. Co-venturers with Shell in this project
are Nippon Oil Exploration Limited and Oranje-Nassau (U.K.) Limited.
The Eni Stirling project involves the design, manufacture and installation

umbilical and the design, fabrication and installation of a wellhead
protection structure. Technip is also responsible for all associated
tie-ins, precommissioning and testing.

new wells to an FPSO, including the installation of four steel tubed
umbilicals, three infield 14”/8” Pipe in Pipe pipelines

Fabrication of the flexible flowlines required for the Shell Pierce
