Technip-Coflexip awarded Nigerian East Area contract
Posted: 13 July 2003
Technip-Coflexip has been awarded, by NNPC/Mobil joint venture,
a contract for the East Area Additional Oil Recovery Project.
This contract covers engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation,
hook-up, commissioning, and start-up assistance for a gas compression
platform and associated facilities to be installed in the East Area
field offshore Nigeria.
The facilities under Technip-Coflexip’s scope of work include
a 18,000-ton gas compression platform, supported by 7,200-ton jacket
and piles, which is designed to process low pressure gas and provide
high pressure gas compression for re-injection to improve the oil
recovery of the East Area field.
They also comprise a living quarters platform to accommodate 90
people and house the central control room as well as a flare platform
and bridges.
The project will be a record for installation through float-over
in West Africa using Technip-Coflexip’s proprietary Unideck
system.
The project will be carried out by Technip-Coflexip’s engineering
center based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Subcontractors selected to execute various parts of this project
include local Nigerian companies, which will perform detail design
and fabrication of bridges and flare structure, fabrication of living
quarters jacket and piles, as well as marine activities.
The facilities are scheduled to be ready in 2006.
This major contract award is a new success for Technip-Coflexip,
which again underlines the company’s capabilities in design
and management of very large integrated offshore projects
