PARIS -- Technip will install subsea equipment connected to Shell’s Prelude Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility in the Browse basin off northwest Australia.

The vessel will be moored 200 km (124 mi) offshore in a water depth of 240 m (787 ft).

Technip’s scope covers:

  • Project management, fabrication, transport, and installation by reeling of 12-in. (30.5-cm) corrosion-resistant alloy clad rigid flowlines
  • Onshore fabrication of pipeline end termination, flowline appurtenances, and rigid spools
  • Transport and installation of subsea equipment including manifolds, umbilical termination assemblies, rigid spools, and flying leads
  • Management of interfaces with the hook-up and commissioning of the FLNG facility, including on-time transport, installation, and handover of the flexible risers and umbilical.

Technip’s centers in Perth and Kuala Lumpur will handle the work. The company’s spoolbase in Orkanger, Norway, will weld the flowline linepipe, to be provided by Shell Development (Australia). Vessels used for the offshore campaigns will include theDeep Energy and the Deep Orient.
