ACHIEVEMENT

S397 Iraq Crude Oil Export Expansion Project

The S397 ICOEEP Project has been designed to achieve the goal of developing further offshore loading facitilies of the Crude Export Facility of Southern Iraq from exporting approximately 1.8MMBOPD to 4.5MMBOPD, from onshore facilities to the KAAOT and ABOT offshore terminals. SERS Group was engaged as the sole subsea service provider, technical consultant and labour supplier of ICOEEP Phase 1. Our work scope included the following on a full engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning basis:

Installation and Commissioning of Two 48” Parallel Pipelines, 20km Onshore and 120km Offshore
Installation of Three SPM Systems (single point mooring systems) Capable of Receiving and Loading VLCC Tankers
Fabrication and Installation of a 600MT Subsea Valve Manifold
Dredging Works to Achieve Pipeline Trenching and Sufficient Water Depth for VLCC Mooring
Installation of Subsea Fibre Optic Cables and Composite Power Fibre Optic Cables
Full Commissioning and Initial Operation Responsibilities

SERS successfully managed the crucial part of the project from 2011 to 2012, supervised and inspected four latest offshore constructions and pipe lay vessels: the Leighton Eclipse, Leighton Stealth, Leighton Mynx, Leighton Oranda to complete the mission and to achieve the Client’s fast-track schedule.

PROJECT GALLERY

Tanzania SPM Replacement Project

The Tanzania SPM Replacement Project has been designed to replace old crude oil discharging terminal with a new dual pipeline single point mooring system. SERS Group was engaged as the sole subsea service provider, technical consultant and labour supplier. The project was located South East of the Port of Dar Es Salaam harbour entrance channel and comprised the development up to and including pre commissioning and delivery of an offshore terminal for the import of crude oil and white products capable of mooring tankers in the range of 40KDWT to 150 KDWT. The key elements of the works were:

Project Management, Design, Engineering, Procurement & Construction
Met Ocean StudySite Surveys
Fabrication and Installation of SPM System
Procurement and Installation of Offshore Pipelines
Procurement and Installation of Onshore Pipelines
Testing and Pre-commissioning of the System
Decommissioning of existing SPM System
Removal of Existing Onshore Pipeline
Decommissioning of Subsea Structure and Pipeline

The pipeline diameters were 48-inch for the crude line and 24-inch for the white product line, with indicative onshore and offshore lengths of 4.5 km and 4 km respectively. A stringing yard was set up at the landfall point and pipe strings was pulled offshore by bottom pull method with a linear winch set up on Leighton Mynx work barge. A key challenge to the installation of pipeline was trenching through intertidal zone and crossing the reef at approximately 2 km away from the beach. SERS has successfully completed the project with client’s satisfaction.
