Providing drop object protection and exceptional abrasion resistance to flowlines
CRP Subsea has secured a sizable contract from a prominent EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Installation) company. The contract involves providing cable protection services for an oil field extension project, offshore Eastern Canada.
For this project over 1.3 kilometres of CRP Subsea's Uraduct® will be used to protect the flexible flowlines and jumpers within a new subsea infrastructure in water depths of 120 metres. The purpose of this infrastructure is to connect a fixed drilling platform to an existing floating production, storage, and offloading unit (FPSO). Uraduct® will provide drop object protection (DOP) to the flowlines, safeguarding them from potential impacts. Additionally, Uraduct® offers exceptional abrasion resistance, enhancing the overall robustness of the system. Using their engineering proficiency CRP Subsea will supply four variants of Uraduct® to cater for the different pipe diameters. One of these variants is Uraduct® ballast, which will be specifically designed to incorporate the additional submerged weight required.
"We are delighted that our market-leading Uraduct® has been chosen to protect the flowlines on this extension project. The contract demonstrates our customers' trust and confidence in our capability to deliver high-quality cable protection solutions. We look forward to further strengthening our relationship with this key customer and having the opportunity to collaborate on even more exciting projects in the future." [Matt Burrows, Sales Manager at CRP Subsea]
Project engineering is set to commence shortly at our world-class production facility located in the North West of England. The manufacturing operations are scheduled to start in early 2024, with delivery expected in the first quarter.
