Allseas will install a new export pipeline that will significantly enhance oil transport capacity, flexibility and efficiency in the central Gulf of America. The contract covers the 150-kilometre, 24-inch Rome Pipeline stretching from Shell’s Green Canyon 19 (GC-19) platform to the Louisiana coast.
Scope of work
Allseas’ scope includes engineering, procurement and installation of the pipeline. The company’s automatically positioned anchor barge Sandpiper will execute the nearshore section in 2027, followed by dynamically positioned pipelay vessel Solitaire for the deepwater section in 2028.
The Rome Pipeline is part of a broader strategy to expand and modernise Gulf of America export infrastructure, building on projects such as the Amberjack Debottleneck Project, executed by Allseas in 2016.
To date, Allseas has safely installed around 8000 kilometres of pipelines in the Gulf.
