The contract covers:
Engineering for the installation, welding and installation of a production rigid flowline (1) (23 miles long) terminating at the spar with a flexible riser (2),
Design, fabrication and installation of an in-line structure and PLET (3),
Engineering for the installation and installation of an umbilical (4) (23 miles long), jumper(5) and flying leads.
The riser was fabricated in Le Trait, France, one of the group’s flexible pipe plants. Offshore installation is scheduled for the second quarter of 2009, using the Deep Blue, Technip’s deepwater pipelay vessel. First production for Daniel Boone is expected to be in the second half of 2009.
