AIS Bardot will be working for Saipem Group, serving hybrid riser lines to develop Total Energies’ Kaminho project in Angola
The contract outlines manufacture and supply of three complete hybrid riser lines of 100 metres each. These will be used to pump seawater to provide the appropriate volume and flow of cold water to cool down essential equipment and prevent overheating in the FPSO unit.
To ensure they are light and compact, the riser lines will be manufactured with high-density polyethylene instead of traditional rubber and steel. Cheaper operating costs besides, these less-energy consuming risers will also be sustainable to use.
Stanislas Tchoutakian, business development manager for France, said, “This success strengthens our close relationship with Saipem and Total on this very particular supply. Many years of development and qualification led to this award, congratulations to all the team who made this achievement possible.”Engineered to meet the precise requirements of water depth, temperature, and flow rate, the water intake risers accommodate the hydrodynamic stresses of the operational environment, ensuring maximum functionality and cost effectiveness. They are easy to install, with a long life span and no maintenance required, while meeting international offshore standard to meet all required specifications.
AIS, (incorporating Covertherm, Manuplas, Bardot, and CRP Subsea) supplies insulation, passive fire protection, buoyancy, and cable protection systems.
