Laney Directional Drilling recently completed
a world-record Direct Pipe project in Cameron
County, Texas.
"The Gulf of Mexico Direct Pipe Shore Approach Project marked the first successful Direct
Pipe shore approach in North America, as well as
setting the new world record for length for Direct
Pipe," said Maureen Carlin, MBA, Ph.D., Laney
strategic marketing manager.
The distance of the direct pipe installation was
4,900 feet, with an additional 1,350 feet pushed
out to the offshore contractor, for a total thrusted pipe length of 6,250 feet. The offshore pipeline
was then attached to a direct lay pipeline along
the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico to its termination onshore in Mexico. The direct pipe method is
a product of Herrenknecht AG.
The installation surpassed Laney's previous
North American Direct Pipe record of 3,505 feet,
also in Cameron County, Texas, and the world
record in Lochem, The Netherlands, at a length of
4,590 feet.
Project owner is Valley Crossing Pipeline LLC,
a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. Laney was the drilling contractor and Strike LLC was the pipeline
contractor.
Valley Crossing Pipeline will transport gas to a
state-owned facility in Mexico, which ultimately
will serve 37 million customers, and other delivery points in South Texas. However, rough seas
delayed the start of construction on the American
side of the project in May and early June. According to Carlin, the 168-mile pipeline to Mexico
was supposed to be in service in October. Valley
Crossing Pipeline officials are now requesting an
in-service date of April 23, 2019.
