Technip’s operating center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will execute this contract, which includes the engineering and supply of a 6″ riser, a mid water arch and a 6″ flowline. Manufacturing of the flexible pipes will commence in the third quarter 2010 after completion of the factory qualification trials.
The company said that this award will be the first contract for commercial manufacture in its new flexible pipe plant, Asiaflex Products, located in the Tanjung Langsat industrial complex in Malaysia.
