Heavy lift construction vehicle Pioneering Spirit has completed the infield pipelay scope for bp’s Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal. After arriving in the field in December 2023, the production crew welded, scanned, and field-joint coated the final segment of pipe for the second 16-inch export gas line within two months.
The pipeline, positioned in a target box at a depth of 2400m, will undergo recovery for the installation of the termination assembly. The pipelay project includes approximately 75km of 16-inch export lines and 10km of 10-inch CRA infield lines, with some sections reaching depths exceeding 2700m.
Allseas Project Manager Laurent Beghin stated: “Thanks to great collaboration between the onshore and offshore teams, we’ve overcome all challenges faced during the project preparation and execution phases and met all milestones without delay.”
