GEOPHYSICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL SURVEY OF SEALINE
R.O.W AND JACKUP LOCATION FOR AGBARA PHASE II
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT: ADVERT FOR TENDER OPPORTUNITY
(NipeX Reference No. NipeX No. 3200010)
Introduction
Agip Energy and Natural Resources Nig Ltd (AENR) intends to put in place contracts with reputable Companies or Consortia having the capability and experience in the Execution of Geophysical / Geotechnical and Meteocanographical Survey along sea-line R. O. W. and Jack up platform location.
Scope of Work
The scope of work is as summarized below:
- Survey from OMl-1 16 (Agbara Platform) to Brass Terminal – estimated distance of 45 km (WD from 70m to 0m) – First route.
- Survey from Brass Terminal and OGGS tie-in Point – estimated distance of 25 km offshore- Optional (WD from 15m to 25m) – Second route.
- Survey close to Agbara Drilling platform for the positioning of a jack up drilling Rig.
The main tasks of the pre-engineering survey are to obtain:
- Bathy-morphological, Geo-technical and Geophysical Characterization of the route corridor. The bathy-morphological and geotechnical characterization shall focus on the route corridor where the pipeline is to be laid to define the seabed bathymetry, morphology and stratigraphy, obstacles and soil characteristics and to identify eventual critical areas.
The geotechnical design parameters along the proposed pipeline route and surrounding areas (for geo-hazard purposes) shall also be defined as required for pipeline engineering purposes.
- Meteocean Parameters, The assessment of metocean parameters along the route has the scope to:
– Define extreme and climatic design wave and current data for the assessment of pipeline stability and long term integrity (fatigue analysis).
– Define meteocean climatic and extreme conditions for on site activity during construction.
- Survey on Jack-up Location.
The Geophysical survey shall cover any significant area that will be utilized during the jack-up positioning. Bathy-Morphological Survey within 2X2 Km area as well as magnetometer survey within an area of 500 X 500 m. The Geotechnical investigation program for a mobile drilling unit (jack-up) is finalized to the evaluation of the soil profile for the analysis of jack-up leg penetration according to SNAME standards and eventually interference with existing platform foundations.
The reference investigation program includes one borehole to 30 m penetration below seabed with continuous sampling
The activities listed above shall be executed in compliance with Company’s standard specifications, which will be contained in the ITT Package, Applicants are to note, that the Scope of Works as listed, are independent, as such Company may choose to award the contracts individually or in combination as it deems appropriate.
