The award recognises the contribution made by Subsea 7 for the design, manufacture, testing and operation of a new deepwater diverless pipeline repair system, which was used to repair a damaged 12 inch water injection pipeline in 1,350 m water depth in the Girassol Field located in Block 17, offshore Angola.

Girassol Pipeline Repair Project Project Manager Allan Glennie accepted the award on behalf of the company saying “I am honoured that the PIG judges have recognised the work Subsea 7 is doing in this area. The pipeline repair system, developed in-house by Subsea 7, integrates new and proven technologies to provide a system which has the potential to be used in a range of life-of-field applications, as the equipment and technology are fully transferable.”

The PIG Award is a widely acknowledged annual award to promote the development of new ideas in the general field of subsea pipeline technology. It is presented for an achievement developed in the last five years which has been successfully implemented or completed within the last 12 months, resulting in a significant contribution to subsea pipeline technology.
