Offshore contractor Allseas announced it has been awarded a contract to install a new export pipeline in the central U.S. Gulf.
Awarded by pipeline operator Shell Pipeline Company LP on behalf of Amberjack Pipeline Company LLC, a joint venture between Shell Pipeline Company LP and Chevron Pipe Line Company, the contract covers the installation of the 100-mile, 24" Rome Pipeline stretching from Shell’s Green Canyon 19 (GC-19) platform to the Fourchon Junction facility on the Louisiana coast.
Allseas said its scope includes engineering, procurement, and installation of the pipeline. The company's automated anchor-positioned pipelay barge 394'x105' Sandpiper will execute the nearshore section in 2027, and the 984'x135' dynamically positioned pipelay vessel Solitaire will lay the deepwater section in 2028.
The GC-19 platform is located approximately 75 miles south of the Louisiana coastline in the GoM’s Green Canyon Lease Block 19 at a water depth of about 750'.
Shell is the owner and operator of the platform, which provides existing pipeline access to the Amberjack, Boxer, Eugene Island, and CHOPS Pipeline systems, connecting to crude oil markets in Texas and Louisiana.
