MDL supplied a Generation 2 reel drive system, four-track, 85-metric-ton pipelay tensioner and an overboarding chute for the campaign, with the spread mobilized onboard the Skandi Sevenoffshore construction vessel.
It followed previous SURF installation programs over the past 18 months featuring the same vessel/ spread combination.
Michael Blease-Shepley, MDL’s vice president of sales, said, “These campaigns have been optimized through the deployment of familiar assets, where project engineering could tap into existing deck plans, sea-fastening designs and installation methodology, and where field service teams were well experienced in working with one another.”
