Appointed by Subsea 7 for the design, manufacture and delivery of two Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) Jumpers, Airborne Oil & Gas from the Netherlands has made successful inroads into the Western Australia oil and gas industry with its TCP technology being used for the first time in the region.
With the contract the company will supply 2” 10,000 psi TCP Jumpers to be used for Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) injection service. The TCP Jumpers are planned for delivery later this year, and will be deployed in the Julimar field, located approximately 200 km offshore North Western Australia.
This forms part of a wider contract awarded by Australia’s leading natural gas producer Woodside on behalf of the Julimar-Brunello joint venture (Woodside and KUFPEC) to Subsea 7 to design, procure, install and commission a 22 km 18″ Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) gas transmission flowline and an umbilical system.
Fabienne Ellington, Airborne Oil & Gas’ Vice President for Asia-Pacific and Middle East said: “We are extremely pleased to be the first company to deliver TCP technology to the energy sector in the region. As part of our business strategy, we have been focusing on the opportunities in Australia as a major oil and gas hub, as well as an upcoming LNG growth market. This is a landmark win for Airborne Oil & Gas and puts us firmly on the map in Australia.”
