Middle East / India

 

Global established its presence in the Middle East/India with the acquisition of selected assets from Subtec in 1997 and Oceaneering in 2000 that expanded our diving capabilities. Global's Middle East/India operations are designed for diving and special services type work and their offices and port facilities are located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and Mumbai, India.

 

Noteworthy is Global's unique trenching equipment that is well suited to the hard sea bottom conditions prevalent in the Middle East/India. The hyperbaric chamber at the Sharjah base is used for development or training purposes. The Sharjah base also houses a dedicated medical decompression chamber.

 

Significant projects include burial of fiber optic cable offshore Abu Dhabi for Etisilate in 1997 and 1998. Global continues to pursue other offshore construction and support opportunities in the region.

 

 

Asia Pacific

 

Global Industries expanded into the Asia Pacific region with the acquisition of Divcon International in 1996 and Sub Sea International2 in 1997. Established in 2000, Global's Bangkok office serves as the Asia Pacific regional headquarters and the Batam Marine Facility, established in 1998, provides regional marine and operational support. Global area offices are located in New Zealand, Australia, China, Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.

 

The Batam Base, located fifty minutes by ferry from Singapore, provides a central location for mobilizations and demobilizations for offshore marine projects in the Asia Pacific region. Centrally located in Asia, Global's onsite management is familiar with local administrations and has access to a large pool of skilled workers, both local and foreign.

 

Many offshore developments in the Asia Pacific region are located in relatively shallow water and comprised of light to medium structures and pipelines. Global's three permanently assigned construction vessels, DLB 264, DLB 332, and Seminole have crane capacity and pipelay capability consistent with the requirements of these development projects. The close fit between Global's hardware capability and offshore installation requirements provides cost effective offshore construction solutions.

 

The DLB 264 recently completed the installation of PGN's 28" pipeline with a piggy backed 1.25" diameter fibre optic cable for a total distance of 26.2 KM across the Singapore Straits between the Sakra Island in Singapore and Pulau Pemping in Indonesia. The pipeline was laid using automatic welding techniques and the average production is greater than estimated lay rates. The project was successfully completed ahead of schedule.

 

Presently, DLB 264 is performing for the Petronas MLNG-3 pipelay program in Malaysia where maximum production reached was 345 joints in one day.

 

The DLB 332 completed the upgrade of the tensioners. The barge has mobilized and commenced the Talisman project calling for the installation of over 80 kilometers of 22", 20", 14", 12", 10", and 4" pipelines. Repair and refurbishment of the saturation systems has been completed in Batam and deployed onto the DLB 332 for Talisman.

 

The Seminole completed the heavy lift, hook-up, and accommodation support in the West Natuna field in Indonesia for the Conoco Block B project. The Seminole is currently working as an accommodation vessel and carrying out some heavy lifts for the BSP maintenance program.

 

In Asia Pacific SSD, the Shell Bangladesh Project was successfully completed on schedule, with air diving support provided in zero visibility, and high current conditions. SSD work included pipeline deburial and reburial as well as metrology and pipeline stabilization work in approximately 30 FSW. Including in the same package, they also successfully completed the 20" Sarku riser replacement project for Shell in Bangladesh using a chartered barge to support the project.

 

Global maintains six modular saturation diving systems in the Asia Pacific region as well as twelve surface-supplied air/mixed gas diving systems, cable/umbilical installation underoller systems, pipeline burial systems, and a variety of equipment and tools associated with marine construction activities.

L and T Consortium To Restore

Bombay High Output


Mumbai, September 19, 2005: Acting swiftly to restore the output lost due to the recent fire at Bombay High North (BHN) Platform, the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has entrusted a fast-track job of installation of diversionary pipelines and associated platform modifications to a consortium led by Larsen and Toubro Limited (L&T) with Global Industries Offshore LLC, USA.

 

L&T will engineer, supply and commission offshore facilities worth around  Rs.3250.000 Millions in addition to the main order of Rs.9300.000 Millions for pipeline replacement including platform modifications received earlier this year. The additional scope involves 12 new submarine pipelines and 24 platforms to be modified, with ambitious completion target of pre-monsoon 2006.

 

While the loss of BHN platform had reduced output by about 0.120 Million barrels of oil and about 4.4 million cubic metres of gas a day, ONGC plans to recover a major part of this by diverting the production through alternative routes. The installation of these additional pipelines and platform modifications by the L&T Consortium will help to achieve this in the shortest possible time.

 

Mr. K. Venkataramanan, President (Engineering and Construction Projects) and Member of the Board, L&T, said, "this repeat order is a demonstration of L&T heightened response to client needs to meet emergency requirements, using our well established global project delivery network".
