授予 MDL 的两项合同涉及为 Saipem 自己的船只提供定制的设备包。

在 Baleine 油田的首个项目中——科特迪瓦迄今为止最大的发现——部署了一套完整的 MDL 系统，该系统由第二代卷轴潜水系统和配备 60 吨 4 轨张紧器的水平铺设系统组成，用于在 1400 米水深下铺设 16 根柔性跨接线。

预计巴莱恩的天然气产量将增加国内和地区的供应，而石油产量将有助于促进出口。

第二个项目——毛里塔尼亚和塞内加尔近海的大托尔图阿赫迈因 (GTA) 项目——将 MDL 第一代 RDS 与一组线性电缆引擎集成，以安装 33 毫米外径光纤电缆。

GTA项目是位于毛里塔尼亚和塞内加尔海上边界的海上液化天然气项目，井深达2850米，是非洲最深的海底开发项目之一。

MDL高级项目经理Euan Crichton表示：“提供安全高效的解决方案始终是MDL的首要任务。我们支持Saipem在西非开展这些多元化项目，充分证明了我们团队与客户业务整合的能力——我们提供量身定制的设备包，确保即使在深水作业也能提供可靠的性能。”

“我们在柔性铺管作业方面的专业知识，加上我们多功能的设备和工程技术，使我们能够适应每个项目的独特挑战。这种灵活性对于那些专业船舶资源有限的项目尤其宝贵，使我们的客户能够自信地利用他们可直接使用的资产执行复杂的作业。”

“我们期待继续为 Saipem 未来在全球的业务范围提供定制支持，帮助他们在整个生命周期和各个领域实现安全高效的海上能源开发。”

The two scopes awarded to MDL entailed provision of bespoke packages of equipment to enable Saipem’s own vessels.

On the first project in the Baleine field – Ivory Coast’s largest discovery to date – a complete MDL spread consisting of a Generation 2 Reel Dive System and a Horizontal Lay System enabled with a 60 t 4-track tensioner, was deployed to lay 16 flexible jumpers in 1400 m water depth.

The gas production from Baleine is expected to increase domestic and regional supply, while oil production will be instrumental in boosting exports.

The second project – the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project offshore Mauritania and Senegal – saw MDL Generation 1 RDS integrated with a set of linear cable engines to install a 33 mm OD fibre optic cable.

The GTA project is an offshore LNG project on the maritime border of Mauritania and Senegal, with wells located in water depths of up to 2850 m - making it one of the deepest subsea developments in Africa.

Euan Crichton, Senior Project Manager at MDL, said: “Delivering safe and efficient solutions is always our top priority at MDL. Supporting Saipem on these diverse projects in West Africa has been a testament to our team’s ability to integrate with our client’s operations – providing tailored equipment packages that ensure reliable performance, including in deep waters."

“Our expertise in flex-lay operations, coupled with our versatile equipment and engineering know-how, allows us to adapt to the unique challenges of each project. This flexibility is particularly valuable on projects where access to specialist vessels is limited, enabling our clients to execute complex scopes with confidence, using assets that they have direct access to.

“We look forward to continuing our tailored support for Saipem on future scopes around the world, helping them deliver safe and efficient offshore energy developments throughout their lifecycle and across sectors.”
