Tenaris has been awarded the supply of line pipe, casing, coating and related services for the third phase of the Sakarya gas field project, operated by Turkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortakligi (TPAO).
The development is
located in ultra-deep waters of the Black Sea, about 170 km offshore at a water
depth of 2,150 meters.
The contract includes
the delivery of 22,700 tonnes of seamless pipes for flowlines and for a 62 km
monoethylene glycol (MEG) pipeline, as well as 87,800 tonnes of welded pipes
for a 180 km export pipeline.
The seamless pipes,
produced at Tenaris’s Dalmine mill in Italy, will include anode pads, buckle
arrestors, and TenarisShawcor three-layer polypropylene (3LPP) anticorrosion
coating, applied at Tenaris’s coating facility in Villamarzana.
The welded portion of
the contract will be produced at Tenaris’s Confab mill in Pindamonhangaba,
Brazil, and will also feature TenarisShawcor 3LPP anticorrosion coating and
anode pads installation.
A 1.2 km section of
the export pipeline will include concrete weight coating for added stability.
In addition, Tenaris
will supply 7,700 tonnes of line pipe for production risers, MEG risers, and
the export pipeline, also produced at Dalmine and coated with TenarisShawcor
3LPP technology in Villamarzana.
Both contracts will be
executed under Tenaris’s One Line service model, which integrates
comprehensive pipeline solutions with TenarisShawcor coating services.
“Tenaris’s One Line
model has evolved into a flexible and comprehensive portfolio of services,
delivering reliable solutions for fast-track, dynamic, and technically complex
projects such as Sakarya - Phase 3. Our deep understanding of the field’s
characteristics, built throughout the previous phases, adds unique value
to this development,” said Davide Mengoli, Tenaris Commercial Senior
Director Pipelines & Services Mediterranean, Caspian, Middle East &
Asia.
For the offshore
drilling activity, Tenaris has been awarded a contract to supply 10,000 tonnes
of casing. Part of the order will be delivered with Dopeless technology,
Tenaris’s multifunctional coating applied at the mill that reduces handling and
preparation during storage and running while ensuring consistent,
high-performance lubrication for offshore operations.
“We are pleased to see
our continued collaboration with TPAO on their most demanding offshore project,
as well as their trust in our solutions,” said Olga Volkova, Tenaris
Commercial Senior Director for Eastern Europe and the Caspian Sea. “Our Dopeless
technology is widely adopted in offshore operations for its efficiency and
safety benefits. Pipes are supplied ready to run and, since there is no need to
enter the red zone of the rig floor to apply running compound, Dopeless technology
makes operations safer and more efficient while minimising the environmental
impact of operations”. -TradeArabia News Service
