| Technip chosen by Shell for project in the Gulf of Mexico Technip has been awarded a contract by Shell Offshore Inc. to provide the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a Spar hull and mooring system for the Perdido Regional Host Project. This project is located in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 200 miles south of Freeport (Texas). Moored in about 8,000 feet of water, the record breaking Spar will be the deepest spar production facility in the world and the first with DVA (direct vertical access), which will reduce the drilling cost, simplify workovers and facilitate access to subsea equipment. First production from Perdido is expected around the turn of the decade, with the facility capable of handling 130,000 boe/d. The Perdido Regional Host will be the fourteenth Spar delivered by Technip, and is in a water depth that is nearly a half of a mile deeper than any other Spar. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
