Bayou Receives Epoxy Coating Contract for Shell’s Deep Water Project

Aegion has awarded its subsidiary, The Bayou Companies with a contract to coat the gas and oil pipelines having diameter of 16” and 18 ” and length measuring approximately 80 mi, for the development of the offshore Shell Mars B deep water project.

The anode and buckle arrestor fixation and coating of the concrete weight and inner and outer diameter of the pipelines will be commenced by Bayou during January of the year 2012. The gas and oil are exported from the development of Mars B, which includes Shell’s second tension leg platform “Olympus” on the prolific Mars field, to West Delta 143, a hub plant that produces water, gas and oil. The gas and oil are transported into Fourchon, Louisiana by connecting the coated pipeline with the pre-existing pipeline in the hub facility. The past work of Bayou in finishing Shell’s deep water project comprises the external and internal diameter coating of flow pipes, export pipes and water injection pipes with a fusion bond epoxy material, the fabrication of end terminations in the world’s deepest pipelines. The fusion bond epoxy finishing ensures high corrosive resistance in the pipelines made of steel that are used in a saltwater environment.

Aegion Energy and Mining Group’s Senior Vice President, Dorwin Hawn, stated that over past years, the company has been working with Shell and anticipates to offer protective coatings on this deepwater project. Hawn commented that the company’s logistics capabilities in New Iberia, Louisiana along with the capability to concurrently load barges at four facilities will help the company to effectively control this deepwater project. Hawn stated that Bayou with ISO certification, which the company has received recently, will ensure additional advantages to the entire deepwater project.
