Technip has been awarded an engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning contract by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) for D18 Project.

The project covers the procurement and installation of two 8” water injection flexible pipes totalling 9.5 kilometers. The flexible pipes will connect three fixed jacket platforms which form the existing D18 infrastructure offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, at a water depth of 36 meters.

This contract is part of the 5-year Framework Agreement signed with PETRONAS in late
2014 and is in line with Technip strategy to strengthen its partnerships with its clients to drive cost optimization.

Asiaflex Products, Technip’s flexible pipe manufacturing plant located in Johor, Malaysia, will execute  the  contract  with  support  from  Technip’s  operating  centre  in  Kuala  Lumpur, Malaysia. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2015.

The flexible pipes will be manufactured at Asiaflex Products and the Deep Orient, one of Technip’s subsea construction vessel, will be mobilised for installation during the second semester of 2015.

KK Lim,  President  of  Technip in Asia  Pacific  commented:  "This is the  first work order awarded under the  5-year Framework Agreement signed with PETRONAS. We are pleased to  be  able  to  leverage  our  unique  subsea  vertical  integration  of  product  design, manufacturing and installation vessel to offer a cost effective solution to our client by using flexible pipe technology.”
