Technip's Deep Energy. From Technip.

Kraken is located in the North Sea, 400km northeast of Aberdeen and 130km east of Shetland, at a water depth of approximately 120m.

The contract is estimated to be worth between US$318 and $637 million and covers various project management engineering and installation works, including:

• Fabrication and pipelay of approximately 50km of rigid pipe - 25km of metallurgically clad pipe and 25km of HDPE lined,
• Installation of 3 umbilicals totaling 14km,
• Installation of 7km of flexible risers and jumpers ,
• Template and manifold installation at three drill centers,
• Diverless tie-ins to pipelines and manifolds,
• Pipeline flooding, hydro testing and leak testing

A number of vessels from the Technip fleet will be utilized for the offshore campaign, including Technip’s Deep Energy, one of the largest pipelay vessels ever built.

Technip’s operating center in Aberdeen, United Kingdom, will execute the contract.

The group will leverage its unique vertical position in the subsea business. The Group’s spoolbase in Evanton, United Kingdom, will weld and load-out the rigid pipe and Technip Umbilicals, Technip’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Newcastle, United Kingdom, will manufacture the umbilical. All construction work on the project will be undertaken via diverless construction methods.
