Wood has secured a contract from China Offshore Oil Engineering Company (COOEC) to provide detailed design services for QatarEnergy’s Bul Hanine EPIC2 project offshore Qatar.
Leveraging its extensive subsea engineering and flow assurance capabilities, Wood will support COOEC in developing an optimised solution for the field’s complex pipeline infrastructure aimed at enhancing production capacity and extending asset life. The scope includes the design of 25 pipelines, ensuring safe crossings with existing infrastructure, and managing thermal expansion to maintain long-term integrity. In addition, Wood will carry out crossing analysis for 15 umbilicals and two power cables.
Gerry Traynor, Regional President – Middle East, Africa & Caspian, at Wood, said: “Wood has a strong track record in delivering offshore detailed design and in optimising installation solutions for complex subsea systems. By working collaboratively with COOEC, we are bringing together complementary strengths that will help accelerate QatarEnergy’s ambition to extend the field’s life, increase capacity and boost production from these critical, ageing assets.”
Wu Zhixing, Deputy Director of COOEC Engineering Company, said: “COOEC is glad to be QatarEnergy’s trusted partner for the Bul Hanine EPIC2 Project. This is an important milestone which will build on our continual strong track record in the industry, strengthens our presence and commitment to support the energy landscape in the Middle East, and a testament of COOEC’s capability in delivering a trusted EPIC solution for mega offshore projects.”
The latest award further strengthens Wood’s involvement in the Bul Hanine development, following the successful completion of Pre-FEED and FEED services delivered directly to QatarEnergy.
