MCS Group is pleased to announce that it has been selected by Marine Platforms Limited (MPL), the EPCIC contractor, to support the installation of a subsea pipeline in connection with the FIRST Integrated Gas Supply System (FIGSS) development for FIRST Exploration and Petroleum Development Company Limited (FIRST E&P).
The FIGSS development forms part of FIRST E&P’s offshore gas infrastructure programme within PML 53 and PML 54 in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
The scope of MCS Group’s engagement covers the installation of a 22-kilometer, 10-inch subsea pipeline using the NOV Tuboscope Zap-Lok® mechanical interference fit connection.
The pipeline will be installed using the Modular Pipelay System (MPS®) – which provides a safe and efficient pipelay method, deployed from MPL’s DP3 construction vessel and removing the need for a dedicated pipelay vessel.
Project management and engineering will be undertaken between the MCS Group’s Cairo office and MPL’s office in Lagos, Nigeria with offshore operations to be executed in accordance with the overall project schedule and applicable approvals.
This engagement strengthens MCS Group’s involvement in offshore developments in Nigeria and applies the company’s advanced pipelay technology to support efficient project execution.
