Trelleborg gets Shah Deniz order
Trelleborg’s offshore operation has been awarded an order for thermal insulation and corrosion coating services for phase II of the BP Project, Shah Deniz, contracting directly to Azeri firm BOS Shelf.
The contract is expected to begin in 2015 and run until approximately 2022. In addition to product supply, Trelleborg is supporting BOS Shelf on the ground at a purpose-built coating facility set up to withstand the potentially extreme conditions of the area.
Trelleborg will supply in excess of 1000-tonne of its Vikotherm P7 high temperature insulation material to be applied to the flowline structures of the project, over a period of five years. To facilitate the order, Trelleborg will support BOS Shelf in establishing a purpose-built custom coating facility as well as installing two polyurethane dispensing machines and a site-specific laboratory at BOS Shelf’s facility in Baku, Azerbaijan. A crew of up to 25 operational personnel and administration staff, a percentage being local to the region, will also be employed at the location.
Trelleborg will insulate a selection of products using its high temperature thermal insulation material Vikotherm P7, including 2.5km of jumper spool, 10 double subsea isolation valves, seven single subsea isolation valves, five flowline end terminations, and field joint coatings post metrology.
The first gas production is targeted for late 2018, with supplies to Georgia and Turkey; gas deliveries to Europe are expected just over a year after this.
