Project name: GUPCO Younis Project
Project description: Tekmar Subsea
Project completion date: October 2009
Description of product
1-off 18" NS ROV installed pipeline repair clamp
1-off installation tool
1-set activation equipment
The purpose of this product was to seal a leaking oil pipe subsea. Due to a hole in the pipe wall our client was losing 3,000 barrels of oil per day. Tekmar Subsea mobilised service engineers to Egypt to supervise the dredging of the pipeline, coating removal and installation and activation of the pipeline repair clamp. This was the first successful installation of an ROV performed pipeline repair clamp in the region. The pipeline repair clamp and installation tool were deployed from the vessel and installed onto the pipeline. All activation of the system was performed remotely by ROV. Following a successful pressure test of the line the installation tool was removed leaving a seal repair clamp in-situ.
