Kodiak field development project, US
Name and Location
Kodiak field development project, Gulf of Mexico, US.
Client
Deep Gulf Energy.
Project Description
The project involves the development of the Kodiak field, located in Mississippi Canyon Blocks 727 and 771, in the Gulf of Mexico, at water depths ranging from 1 472 m to 1 710 m.
The project consists of a subsea tie-back to the Devils Tower truss spar, located in Mississippi Canyon Block 773.
To withstand Kodiak field’s high temperature and pressure, as well as extremely corrosive production fluids, the pipeline will be bimetallic, lined with corrosion-resistant alloy.
This solution effectively addresses the challenges of increasingly demanding operating conditions.

Latest Developments
Technip has been awarded a lump-sum contract for the development of the Kodiak field.
The contract covers:
• Project management;
• The fabrication and installation of more than 12 km of reeled bimetallic flowline and riser;
• The installation of an 11 km umbilical, associated terminations and flying leads;
• The precommissioning and testing for the rigid line; and
• Crossings preparation, along with prelay and postlay survey.
Technip’s operating centre in Houston, Texas, will manage the project overall.
The infield flowline and riser will be welded at the group’s spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama.
One of the world’s largest purpose-built ultradeep water pipelay and subsea construction vessels – the Deep Blue, and the Global Orion, a support vessel, are expected to perform the offshore installation in the second half of 2015.
