Technip’s wholly-owned subsidiary Technip Umbilicals has been awarded a contract by an undisclosed operator to supply a subsea control umbilical in the Gulf of Mexico.

The contract includes the project management and manufacture of several kilometers of a static and dynamic unarmoured steel tube umbilical.

Technip Umbilicals facility in Houston, USA, will manufacture this project for the high pressure field, which is scheduled to be completed in 2017.

Technip Umbilicals’ managing director, Sarah Cridland, said: “This award confirms Technip’s position as a world leader in the supply of umbilical systems to the Gulf of Mexico region.”
