Aquatic Announces Multiple Contracts
Thursday 13 July 2017
Aquatic Engineering & Construction recently confirmed two contracts about a day apart, while also releasing news on its social media that it had prepped a reel drive for load-out in Louisiana for a deepwater GoM tieback campaign.
The company was selected to provide tensioning capabilities to DeepOcean BV on behalf of Subsea 7 for the Pharaonic /PHPC Atoll Main umbilical installation project in Egypt. Aquatic will provide its Dual Tensioner System solution to tension the umbilical during installation.
The 112-km (70-mi) umbilical will be installed at a water depth of 923 m (3,028 ft), extending to a beach tie-in at the West Harbour Terminal, near Port Said, Egypt. Mobilization is scheduled for August from Blyth Northumberland, with an anticipated project duration of 70 days.
The tensioning system will be installed aboard DeepOcean’s Maersk Connector vessel. The tensioners will be integrated to allow them to be operated in synchronization with existing deck equipment, including the vessel carousel. The tensioner control cabin will be linked to the existing vessel carousel control room to allow all the equipment to be controlled and monitored from a single location by Aquatic personnel. The dual tensioner solution connects two 50-metric ton tensioners together in series to ensure sufficient track length to the umbilical.
