Technical Details

Pipe “stalks” are pre-assembled at a spooling base on land, before being spooled on to the storage reel(s) on the vessel. The vessel then transits to the field and the pipe line is straightened before being lowered to the sea bed. Pipe line end terminations and manifolds can be installed using the dedicated PLET handling system, and piggyback lines installed attached to the main pipeline.
