UK engineering group Wood has been awarded a contract by China Offshore Oil Engineering Company (COOEC) to deliver a scope of detailed design for QatarEnergy’s Bul Hanine EPIC project, located offshore Qatar.
Wood will support COOEC to design an optimised solution for the field’s complex pipeline network to enhance production capacity and extend asset life.
The company will undertake the design of 25 pipelines, including ensuring safe interactions where pipelines cross existing infrastructure and managing thermal expansion to protect long-term integrity, as well as crossing analysis for 15 umbilicals and two power cables.
This award builds on Wood’s previous involvement in Bul Hanine, where the company successfully delivered pre-FEED and FEED directly for QatarEnergy.
“By working collaboratively with COOEC, we are bringing together complementary strengths that will help accelerate QatarEnergy’s ambition to extend the field’s life, increase capacity and boost production from these critical, ageing assets,” said Gerry Traynor, regional president for Middle East, Africa, and Caspian at Wood.
“Join the companies that smart energy professionals follow – because when you’re featured on GEN, the industry pays attention.”
