Subsea 7 Completes Girassol Repair
Subsea 7 reports it has completed the Girassol Pipeline Repair Project for Total E&P Angola. The project was an entirely diverless pipeline repair in 1350m water depth and was based on a technical design competition issued by Total which resulted in Subsea 7 being awarded the contract for the design, manufacture, testing and operation of a new deepwater pipeline repair system (PRS). The system would then be used on the repair of a damaged 12-in. water injection pipeline in the Girassol field, offshore north-west Angola.
