Boskalis Lands Abu Dhabi Pipeline Project

Boskalis has been awarded a contract from the National Petroleum Construction Company of Abu Dhabi, UAE for dredging work related to the installation of an offshore gas pipeline of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company as well as to an existing offshore gas pipeline.

The activities are due to start in the first quarter of 2016 and will be executed in phases with completion expected in the second half of 2017.

Boskalis will dredge a trench for the installation of the new offshore gas pipeline over a total distance of more than 50 kilometers between Das Island and Ras Al Qila onshore Abu Dhabi.

For this project a medium-sized trailing suction hopper dredger and a large cutter suction dredger will be deployed as well as backhoe dredgers for dredging in shallow waters.

Following its installation, the pipeline will be backfilled.

In addition, Boskalis will be backfilling an existing offshore pipeline with sand over a total distance of 34 kilometers with a trailing suction hopper dredger. This pipeline is located in the vicinity of the new pipeline.

UTC 2017

The subsea industry has, as all other parts of the oil & gas industry, been seriously rattled by the most severe downturn in the hydrocarbon energy era. However, the realization of what hit us and actions to be taken to sustain a healthy and profitable future is still on-going – unfortunately with thousands of colleagues paying the price by losing their job as one of the most severe consequences. At this time, there are signs that we have reached bottom in terms of most industry indicators, but few experts expect a sharp recovery. Many seem to believe that a slow recovery is what the industry needs in order to avoid an unsustainable capacity build-up, as seen in the period after the financial crisis. Considering the uncertainty of what the future will bring, this year’s UTC Program Committee have decided to challenge all of us to present ideas, experiences, technological innovations, business models and execution models for how to shape our subsea future and explain how and why subsea is the future.
UTC welcomes abstracts based on the topics listed below. If selected, please consider writing a paper in addition to the UTC presentation. From 2017, UTC papers will be published in an international database.
