Coflexip Stena Offshore Norge received a $71 million order from Statoil for the provision of high tech- nology dynamic risers and seabed jumpers for the development of its Asgard field located on the Norwegian continental shelf by 1,148 ft. (350 m) water depth. This EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction) con- tract includes the provision of 12 km of nine-in. risers, including: 3.5 km high pressure (500 bar) gas injection risers with Teta struc- ture and 7.7 km of very high tem- perature (130 degrees) crude pro- duction risers with three layers of Coflon. This contract also includes the provision of a 2,296 ft. (700 m) multibore riser and 2.3 km of seabed jumpers. The risers will be laid from the seabed to Statoil's FPSO Asgard A. The Teta technology was select- ed in order to meet the demanding specifications of the Asgard field. The manufacture of these very high pressure risers will be achieved by the new spiralling machine using Teta wires that will operate in Le Trait plant (Normandy) from next summer. All the risers will be delivered in April 1998. Pierre Marie Valentin, chair- man and CEO of the Coflexip Stena Offshore Group said: "This new contract shows once again the Group's capacity to roll back current technological limits in dif- ficult-to-develop subsea areas: high water depths, high tempera- ture and high pressure."

You see, we've always had a commitment to building the highest quality, most durable barges we can. Which means, we take the time to build our barges with wheelabrated steel, sturdy epoxy coating systems, and, of course, double-skin hulls. No wonder Ashland Petroleum Company, the nation's largest transporter of petroleum on the inland waterways, chose us to build 68 new, state-of-the-art tank barges for its fleet. For more infor- mation about our quality-built tank barges, including our competitive prices, give us a call at 812-288-0200.
