ATHENS, Greece Shell subsidiary BG International has contracted Corinth Pipeworks to supply steel pipes for the block 22 and NCMA-4 (Colibri) gas field development offshore Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n
Corinth will manufacture 93 km (58 mi) of 16-in. HFW and LSAW coated linepipe for the pipeline which will export gas from the facilities to the Shell-operated Poinsettia platform in Trinidads North Coast Marine Area (NCMA).<\/p>\n
Trinidad and Tobago state-owned Heritage Petroleum Co. is the other partner.<\/p>\n
This will be Corinths first offshore project involving supply of pipes in 24-m (80-ft) lengths. This should lead to a reduction of almost 50% in the number of offshore pipe to pipe welds, the company said, resulting in capex savings and an associated reduction in offshore vessel installation time.<\/p>\n
Pipe manufacture and coating will start in Greece later this year, followed by offshore pipelay in 2021.<\/p>\n
