MODEC reported that one of its business units, SOFEC, was awarded the Turret Mooring System Supply Contract for the ENI’s Coral South Project. The award came from the JV of TechnipFMC and JGC Corp. The contract covers the EPC of a major Internal Turret Mooring System for the Coral South FLNG facility.
The FLNG facility will be designed to produce 3.4 mtpa of LNG and will be moored in 2,000 meters of water depth in the Area 4, offshore Mozambique.
The turret allows the FLNG facility to continually rotate into prevailing weather without production interruptions. SOFEC will be responsible for all EPC activities related to the Internal Turret Mooring System and its ancillary components.SOFEC will also assist in turret integration and offshore commissioning activities in Mozambique.
Project delivery includes both the turret mooring systems (mooring legs, mechanical connectors and anchor piles) and fluid transfer systems (piping, swivels, safety and controls). The Coral South FLNG Turret represents SOFEC’s fourth Single Point Mooring System for LNG related business and using SOFEC’s High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS) technology. SOFEC’s design enables a reduced pressure envelope through the swivel stack by efficiently locating the HIPPS on the geostationary part of the turret. This results in increased operational safety on the FLNG vessel, thereby increasing safety for personnel. This technology also clears deck space on the vessel where real estate is at a premium.
Rick Hall, SOFEC’s CEO stated: “We are honored to be awarded this contract for the Coral FLNG Turret Moorings. This project will continue to allow SOFEC to showcase our unique capabilities in moorings and fluid transfer systems. We look forward to working with the joint venture partners to make this a safe and successful project.”
