HALLIBURTON'S WELLSTREAM AWARDED FLEXIBLE PIPE AND WIRE ROPE SHEATHING CONTRACTS FOR KERR-MCGEE'S NANSEN AND BOOMVANG GULF OF MEXICO DEVELOPMENTS
DALLAS, Texas - Wellstream, a business unit of Halliburton Company's (NYSE: HAL) Energy Services Group, has been awarded two contracts as part of Kerr-McGee's development of the Nansen and Boomvang fields in the Gulf of Mexico, USA.
The first contract, direct from Kerr-McGee, is for the system design and supply of 5.625-in., 6,000-psi flexible pipe production risers and tie in jumpers for the project. The risers will be installed in a catenary configuration on the Nansen and Boomvang spars for infield production, and will enable the operator to offset the spars for future on-site drilling. The tie in jumpers will be utilized to connect rigid flowlines and subsea trees. A major factor contributing to the selection of Wellstream's flexible tie in jumpers was their ability to significantly reduce offshore construction and installation time. The manufacture of these risers and jumpers will be undertaken in Wellstream's Panama City, Florida, USA facility, for delivery in August 2001.
The second contract, from Bridon International Limited, is for the extrusion of HDPE sheathing on the wire spiral strand to be used for the Boomvang and Nansen spar moorings. Bridon International Limited was awarded the wire rope contract by CSO-Aker Rauma Offshore as part of their supply contract to Spars International Inc. This sheathing increases the design life of the steel mooring in excess of 20 years by providing an abrasion resistant barrier against water ingress and subsequent corrosion. The cables will be manufactured at Bridon's Doncaster, UK facility, and are to be sheathed at Wellstream's Newcastle upon Tyne, UK facility, which has made modifications to both its extrusion equipment and reel handling capability to facilitate this process. Dedicated modular socketing towers have also been installed in conjunction with Bridon to undertake fitting of socket terminations. The sheathing of these lines will be complete for delivery in April 2001.
Edgar Ortiz, president, Halliburton's Energy Services Group, said, "Wellstream continues its success in securing flexible pipe orders in the GOM through commercially and technically attractive solutions. The ability to meet challenging operating conditions with proven technology allowed for a cost effective solution for the project."
