address the fast growing subsea ultra-deepwater
market.
The combined assets and engineering resources offer
our clients a unique capability:
Worldwide commercial footprint,
International network of engineering centers,
Leading edge technologies supported by growing R&D spend,
Strong project management capabilities and experience in very large and complex
ultra-deepwater projects,
Unmatched network of logistic bases and manufacturing plants,
High tension J-Lay vessels, provided by Heerema through their installation vessels
Aegir (under construction) and Balder,
S-Lay and Reel-Lay assets of both companies, as needed.
Mr. pieter Heerema, president of Heerema group,
and Mr. Thierry pilenko, Technip’s Chairman and CeO, declared:

environments, enabling them to bring these promising
reservoirs into production.”
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
