Corinth Pipeworks (CPW), steel pipe segment of Cenergy Holdings, has signed an agreement with Subsea 7, in Norway, to manufacture and supply High Frequency Welding (HFW) steel pipes for the tie-back of Aker BP’s Kobra East & Gekko (KEG) resources to the existing Alvheim FPSO, in the Norwegian North Sea.
 
This award to CPW is the latest coming from the subsea alliance of Aker BP, Aker Solutions and Subsea 7 and builds on the success of earlier  pipeline developments such as Skogul, Aerfugl I & II and Hod projects.
 
The 9km of 16” HFW pipes for KEG will be manufactured and coated in ultra-long lengths at Thisvi facility, Greece and delivered directly to Subsea 7’s spoolbase in Vigra, Norway for fabrication and subsequent reel-lay installation.
 
This award is another milestone in CPW’s growing offshore presence as end-users and lay-contractors utilise more and more its latest welded pipe technology for critical offshore applications. 

Corinth Pipeworks has built a strong track-record in successful execution of offshore linepipe projects in global markets. We strongly believe technology driven cost reduction measures, that CPW has introduced, advance upstream tie-back project developments like KEG to remain an important part of the future energy mix.
