PARIS–Deep Gulf Energy II LLC has awarded Technip (Paris:TEC) a lump-sum contract to develop the Kodiak field in Mississippi Canyon blocks 727 and 771 in the Gulf of Mexico at water depths from 1,472 m (4,829 ft) to 1,710 m (5,610 ft).

The project consists of a subsea tieback to the Devils Tower truss spar in Mississippi Canyon block 773. To withstand Kodiak field’s high temperature and pressure, as well as corrosive production fluids, the pipeline will be of a bi-metallic construction, lined with corrosion-resistant alloy.

Technip's operating center in Houston will perform the overall project management. The infield flowline and riser will be welded at the Group’s spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama.

The offshore installation is expected to be performed in 2H 2015 by vessels from Technip’s fleet: theDeep Blue and the Global Orion, a support vessel.
