The pin piles will be driven into the seafloor using its S-200 subsea hydraulic hammers while working from Technip’s Deep Pioneer and Wellservicer vessels. The operation will be supported by the company personnel from operations bases in St. John’s and Lafayette, Louisiana.

Installing Conductors For First Time in Canada

Although the company has worked for many years in Canada, the forthcoming pile-driving operation represents the first time that the company will have carried out these particular services in Canada.

Globally, BJ Services shares a solid relationship with Technip Canada. “We are extremely excited about working on behalf of Technip in this capacity in Canada,” said Kenny Watt, vice president, BJ Services, Tubular and Completion Assembly Services. “Given the breadth and depth of our experience in conductor installation services, I am confident that Technip Canada will realise significant benefits in the form of reduced costs and improved efficiency,” he added.
