Technip awarded four contracts in the North Sea

This year, Technip was awarded four contracts by Shell UK, Fairfield Energy, Ithaca Energy and TAQA.

As the longevity of fields represents a key challenge for the energy industry, Technip aims to deliver a suite of subsea maintenance services including inspection, repair, maintenance, decommissioning, asset integrity management as well as brownfield construction.

More specifically, Technip has delivered, or is in the process of delivering, the following scope of work:

• Diving operations to prepare for decommissioning of the Shell Data Brent facilities, under a newly-awarded framework agreement to support its UK and its Norway assets.
• Intelligent pigging operations for Fairfield Energy's Merlin field development (completed September/October 2013)
• Light construction work for Ithaca Energy on the Causeway field.
• Conductor Centraliser maintenance services for TAQA's Hardin field.

Technip's operating centre in Aberdeen, United Kingdom, is managing the projects, scheduled for completion by the end of January 2014. The specialised work scopes, which equate to approximately 75 vessel days, have utilised the Group's diving support vessels, including the Orelia, Skandi Arctic and Skandi Achiever.

Steve Beddows, Business Manager of Life of Field Services (LOFS) at Technip said, "We provide our clients with a complete range of LOFS with each scope demanding a specific set of core skills and expertise. We are ken to assist operators as they look to prolong the longevity of their fields in the UK Continental Shelf and beyond. The LOFS market is growing apace and these new awards underpin our capabilities in this area."
