Offshore staff

HOUSTON -- TDW Offshore Services has successfully completed a key subsea flex-joint isolation operation on the Independence Trail natural gas pipeline for Enterprise Products Partners in the Gulf of Mexico.

The isolation operation allowed critical repairs to be made on the flex-joint assembly of the 20-in. (51-cm) export riser on the Enterprise Independence Hub platform in Mississippi Canyon block 920 that had begun to leak in April 2008.
