| Technip wins contracts in Poland and the Gulf of Mexico Paris-based Technip has been awarded a contract worth approximately €160 million by PKN ORLEN S.A. for the construction of a new paraxylene complex in its refinery in Plock, central Poland. The complex's production units will be based on UOP technology and have a capacity of 400,000 tons/year. The auxiliary system will be developed by Technip. Project completion is scheduled for December 2009. Technip also said it has been awarded by Mariner Energy, Inc. a contract for an electro-hydraulic control umbilical for the Bass Lite field development in the Gulf of Mexico. The contract includes engineering and installation of three steel umbilical sections, approximately 19 miles long each, and installation of the hydraulic, electrical and optical connecting lines for the control of the subsea system. The umbilical and the associated connecting lines will tie-back the two Bass Lite subsea wells, at a water depth of 6,750 feet in Atwater Valley 426, to the Devils Tower Spar moored in 5,600 feet of water. Technip's operations and engineering center in Houston (Texas) will execute the contract. Umbilical sections will be loaded out onto the Apache, one of Technip's pipelay vessels, for offshore installation in the fourth quarter of 2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
