Case Study – Malikai TLP Deepwater Project
Project Execution
An oil major has awarded Technip the EPC contract for the first tension leg platform phase of the project in Malaysia. Technip and Malaysia Marine & Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE) formed a joint venture under the name of TMJV to execute the Malikai Project.
Construction of the platform took place at MMHE’s yard in Pasir Gudang, a city in the state of Johor. Once finalized, the platform was towed to its final destination in the Malikai oil field, about 100 kilometers off of Sabah, Malaysia.
The platform is working in water about 500 meters deep and is moored securely in place by specially coated tendons.
This case study describes the transportation of the abovementioned tendons from the special coating facility in New Iberia, Louisiana, USA to Pasir Gudang, Malaysia.
