UTEC was awarded a full survey services contract on the upcoming Technip Moho Nord EPIC project. The project, operated by Total E&P Congo, is located off the coast of the Republic of Congo, at water depths ranging from 650 to 1,100 meters.
The contract covers all survey services required on multiple vessel assets during the installation of 230-km of rigid pipelines, 23 km of flexible pipes, 50 km of umbilicals, and 50 subsea structures as well as various other structures and rigid jumpers.
The offshore campaign will be spread over 2015 and 2016, with the primary installation vessels being the G1200, a rigid pipe S-lay and heavy-lift construction vessel, and the Deep Pioneer, a multi-purpose deep-water vessel. The project will see the installation of a subsea positioning network of more than 100 acoustic transponders allowing positioning of multiple vessels and ROV’s, often working simultaneously in the field, covering tasks including pipeline touch down monitoring, subsea asset positioning and jumper metrology.
UTEC will manage the project between its EMEA regional headquarters in Aberdeen and its newly opened branch office in Pointe Noire, working closely with Technip’s operating center in Paris.
