The first contract awarded was for the Shell Vito project, a deep-water discovery located around 241km south of New Orleans.

The scope of the contract includes engineering, manufacturing and installation of a single 14in export steel catenary riser (SCR) pipeline, one 10.75in export pipeline, two 10.75in SCR production flowlines, a single 10.75in SCR gas lift flowline and the dynamic umbilical system in a water depth of 1260m. ACE Winches will also provide operational personnel to execute the project.

The second contract is for the BP Mad Dog Phase 2 project, a deep-water development around 320km south of New Orleans. ACE Winches will be responsible for providing engineering, project management, manufacture, operational personnel, installation and pull-in of six catenary and three flexible risers and four umbilical risers to the hang-off positions on the FPU in a water depth of 1380m.

According to the company, its linear winching system design reduces the winch deck footprint and deck structure loadings for riser installations mitigating on-board vessel production equipment infrastructure integration challenges.
