Our Answer to the Promising ultra-Deepwater Market Ultra-deepwater projects are expected to be the fastest growing part of the subsea market over the next several years. For example, ultra-deepwater infield pipelines are forecast to grow at a yearly pace of more than 15% between 2012 and 2017. Clients' requirements to develop their ultra-deepwater reserves:
Deeper water and heavier pipes
Vessels with higher tension pipe laying capacities
Heavier subsea equipment
Vessels with higher lifting/abandonment capacity
larger developments with contracting interfaces increasingly difficult to manage by operators
increasing use of epCi contracts requiring extensive project management and execution experience
increasing QHSe requirements
State-of-the-art vessels and experienced project management required
These developments have significant challenges for our clients, which the alliance of Technip and Heerema addresses thanks to a unique set of capabilities: Experienced engineering & project management High capacity vessels State-of-the-art laying technologies (J-, Reel-, S- and Flex-Lay) Logistic and construction network (yards, plants) Sales & Business Development network
