Tenaris, a multinational manufacturer and supplier of steel pipes to the oil and gas industry, was awarded the offshore export pipeline for the Alen Gas Monetisation Project in Equatorial Guinea
According to Tenaris, the 70 km pipeline awarded by Noble Energy will be constructed to transport natural gas from the Alen offshore platform to existing onshore processing facilities on Bioko Island.
The project aims at transforming the Alen offshore platform into a hub for the development of future Gulf of Guinea gas fields, the company stated.
Tenaris will produce a total of 21,000 metric tonnes of line pipe at its Confab welded pipe mill located in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil.
Gregoire Flipo, Tenaris vice-president of offshore pipeline services, said, “We are very excited to be awarded this contract by Noble Energy, and we are looking forward to demonstrating Tenaris’s technical strength for this project in Equatorial Guinea.”
Noble Energy is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company with a diversified portfolio of both the US unconventional and global offshore assets.
