automation platform, Extended Automation System 800xA, which is the leading process automation system for the oil and gas industry worldwide. The high integrity, safety instrumented system enables process and safety applications to be executed within the same system and, if required, from the same controller. Vincent will produce up to 120,000 barrels of oil a day from 19 subsea wells and production manifolds connected to an FPSO with a capacity of 1.9 million barrels. A Maersk-owned oil tanker, Ellen Maersk, is currently being converted into a floating production vessel at the Keppel shipyard in Singapore. Vincent is located 50 kilometers off the North Cape of Western Australia at a depth of 350 m. The field is operated by Woodside Energy, and is scheduled to go onstream in the third quarter of 2008.
transport of oil and/or gas. Imtech (Imtech Marine & Offshore) will provide a major part of the integrated power and automation package and technical infrastructure, including drives and transformers for the ecofriendly electrical propulsion, power management, power generation and distribution as well as the vessel management system, including all the integrated automation solutions.
New Rapid Subsea Tree Solution
Aker Kvaerner will launch the RapidSolution -- a pre-configured tree system that aims to provide a complete accelerated solution within a fraction of the traditional system lead times. RapidSolution will be ready for delivery from Q3 2008.
Hold on to what's important.
YaleGrip® sets the standard for marine stopping-grips. Fabricated exclusively of Technora® aramid fiber, YaleGrips deliver 20% more strength and four times more abrasion-resistance than Kevlar grips. YaleGrips are simple to apply, safe to use, and easy on mating surfaces. YaleGrips are color-coded for load rating, and may be ordered with a marine coating for surfaceactive towing. Working with umbilicals, steel-wire rope, or synthetic cable? There is a YaleGrip for every application.
Imtech Aboard World's Largest OCV
Imtech signed a contract with Allseas to provide the automation and technical infrastructure onboard a new offshore construction vessel named the Pieter Schelte. This vessel will be the largest offshore construction vessel in the world, and the Imtech contract has a value of more than $48m. Allseas, which specializes in the deployment of pipelaying vessels for the international oil and gas market, has decided to provide its customers with even better services and to build a new construction vessel measuring 360 m in length and 117 m in width. Pieter Schelte will have the capacity to assemble, disassemble or relocate jackets of up to 25,000 tons as well as topsides of up to 48,000 tons. Because the construction vessel also has a high-tech system for laying pipelines on the ocean floor (down to a depth of around 3,500 m), the ship can also play a role in the

Technip Wins Umbilical Installation Deal in GOM
Technip was awarded by Mariner Energy, Inc. a contract for an electrohydraulic control umbilical for the Bass Lite field development in the Gulf of Mexico. This contract follows the pipeline contract awarded to Technip in 2006 for the same field. This contract includes engineering and installation of three steel umbilical sections, approximately 19 miles long each, and installation of the hydraulic, electrical and optical connecting lines for the control of the subsea system. The umbilical and the associated connecting lines will tieback the two Bass Lite subsea wells, at a water depth of 6,750 ft. in Atwater Valley 426, to the Devils Tower Spar moored in 5,600 ft. of water. Technip's operations and engineering center in Houston (Texas) will execute the contract. Umbilical sections will be loaded out onto the Apache, one of Technip's pipelay vessels, for offshore installation in 4Q 2007.
