Fossil Energy – Southeast Mexico
Allseas completed the offshore pipelay commitments for the ambitious Southeast Gateway pipeline project in southeast Mexico.
The Installation of the 700-kilometre, 36-inch natural gas pipeline for client, TC Energy showcases collaboration, cutting-edge technology and exceptional project management.
The pipeline was delivered in 11 months.
Solitaire laid most of the pipeline, with Lorelay and Tog Mor providing first-class support.
Pioneering Spirit installed the outstanding nearshore section at Coatzacoalcos, without a stinger. Instead, the hanging stinger transition frame served as a ‘mini’ stinger, a solution tailored to the shallow water depth.
Project Manager Johan Paauwe says: “Thanks to the great collaboration between the Allseas and TC Energy teams, we successfully navigated this dynamic project. Our client’s trust in us fuelled our drive to deliver this ambitious pipeline, and once again demonstrate Allseas’ leadership in delivering complex, large-scale infrastructure projects efficiently, on time, and on budget.”
“The Southeast Gateway Pipeline Project, with much credit due to the performance of the collective Allseas/TC Energy team, is a classic example of how large scale offshore pipelay ventures are delivered safely, environmentally compliant, and on plan”, said Mike Bagale, TC Energy’s Vice President of Mexico Projects.
