Corinth Pipeworks has been awarded a contract to manufacture and supply approximately 15 km of 23 in. and 26 in. longitudinally submerged arc welded steel pipes for Equinor’s IRPA field development project.
The IRPA gas discovery is located in the Vøring Basin, the deepest field development on the Norwegian continental shelf (1350 m deep) and will be developed as tie-in project to Aasta Hansteen platform. This offshore tie-in project will contribute to increased gas supply to Europe and extend the lifetime of the platform.
The pipes will be manufactured at Corinth Pipeworks’ facilities in Greece, and offshore installation work will commence according to schedule within 2025.
Ilias Bekiros, General Manager of Corinth Pipeworks, commented “CPW has had a huge impact in offshore pipeline markets in recent years, and we are proud to have successfully delivered our pipes to 20 major projects in the North Sea region over the last 5 years. We are particularly delighted to be working with Equinor, one of the pioneering global IOCs, and their frame agreement partner Mitsui, on this project.”
