The project, worth approximately $40m, is scheduled to begin in August 2010 and is expected to be completed by the end of March 2011.

Global will install a 24″ x 8km pipeline at a depth of around 300ft, from E-KU-A2 platform to a Subsea valve in line 152. The project also includes several pipeline crossings, risers, and expansion curves.

John Reed, CEO of Global, said: “We recognize the value of Pemex’s continuing confidence in Global’s ability to execute their projects in a timely and safe manner. Our long-term presence and track record in Mexico and Latin America could not have been accomplished without Pemex’s continued faith in Global.”
