Corinth Pipeworks supplying pipes for Fenix project offshore Argentina

MAROUSSI, Greece— Corinth Pipeworks will manufacture 40 km of 24-inch longitudinally submerged arc welded steel pipes for the Fenix Phase 1 gas export pipeline offshore Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

The Fenix gas field is part of the Cuenca Marina Austral (CMA-1) license, operated by TotalEnergies. The company and its partners recently sanctioned development via a new minimum-facility wellhead platform exporting the production to the Vega Pleyade platform, for onward delivery through the existing pipeline to the shore.

Corinth’s scope includes external 3LPE anti-corrosion coating and concrete weight coating, to be applied at the same location as pipe manufacturing in Thisvi, Greece.

Offshore installation is scheduled to start in 2023.

Earlier this month, TotalEnergies and partners Wintershall Dea and Pan American Sur announced they had taken a final investment decision on the Fenix gas development. The Fenix Field in the Cuenca Marina Austral 1 (CMA-1) concession will be developed through three horizontal wells, drilled from a new unmanned platform in 70 m water depth.
