The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has cited the French company Technip for an innovative technology that allows pipeline operators to transfer liquefied natural gas over long distances.
ASME presented the 2010 Global Pipeline Award to Technip at the recent International Pipeline Conference in Calgary, Canada. The annual award, sponsored by the ASME Pipeline Systems Division of the ASME International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI), recognizes outstanding innovations and technological advances in the field of pipeline transportation.
Technip’s cryogenic pipe-in-pipe technology, which has been applied at the Hess Weaver Cove Energy project, enables gas exploration firms to transfer liquefied natural gas (LNG) over long distances and through challenging environments. Technip views cryogenic pipe-in-pipe systems as an enabler in the global development of environmentally clean LNG energy solutions. The technology has been demonstrated to be safe and reliable.
Technip, headquartered in Paris, is involved in engineering and project management for the oil and gas industry. The company has a workforce of 23,000 and maintains industrial assets on five continents.
