News in brief
Technip has clinched a contract from US independent Mariner Energy to supply and install two 19-mile long subsea umbilical lines on the Bass Lite gas project in the Gulf of Mexico. The French contractor will use its subsea construction vessel Apache to lay the well control lines in the fourth quarter of this year. Mariner is developing Bass Lite, which is in 6,750 ft of water in Atwater Valley block 426, with two subsea wells tied back to the Devils Tower production spar platform.
