The project includes a subsea tie-back to the Devils Tower Truss Spar situated in Mississippi Canyon Block 773.
Technip said the pipeline will be of a bi-metallic construction, lined with corrosion resistant alloy, enabling it to withstand the field’s high temperature and pressure, as well as corrosive production fluids.
The solution will address the challenges of stringent operating conditions, the company said.
