EUROPIPE, a joint venture of Salzgitter Mannesmann and Aktien-Gesellschaft der Dillinger Hüttenwerke, said that it has extended its reach to Australia and will again be delivering the main part (410 kt; the equivalent to 60%) of a major offshore project.
The Ichthys LNG Project is to transport natural gas from the Ichthys Field to Darwin via an 889 km sub-sea pipeline. The gas will be liquefied in one of the world’s largest LNG facilities and shipped mainly to Japan.
The production will run from April 2012 until February 2013 in the EUROPIPE Group’s large-diameter pipe mill located in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.
The order secures a significant part of the mill’s production capacity during this period, the company said.
