Jee Ltd, a leading independent multi-discipline subsea engineering and training firm, has been awarded a contract in support of a US$14,000M seven-year development. The contract, with a major offshore pipelay and subsea construction company, is as a result of recent oil field operations in Canada.

Jee will fulfil the detailed design scope of the company's engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract for the subsea pipelines, as part of the offshore loading system (OLS) for the development.

Jee will provide engineering services, including detailed design and stress analysis on three 24-inch offshore loading lines, which will be installed in 90m of water, as part of a piggable loop.

The scope of work includes Jee engineers reviewing survey information to define and finalise multiple pipeline routes and reviewing all pipeline FEED documentation. In addition the contract involves Jee executing operational stress analysis and pipeline walking analysis, as well as performing any necessary engineering for extra protection of the pipelines to mitigate damage or external disturbance.

With a history of expertise in subsea design, we are looking forward to working on the project, as well as continuing to expand our subsea projects within this developing region."

Engineering and project management will begin immediately from Jee's offices in London and Tonbridge as well as work in the client company's offices.
