SAIPEM TO CONSTRUCT THE SOUTH STREAM PIPELINE ACROSS THE BLACK SEA – (Saipem, San Donato Milanese) Saipem has been contracted by South Stream Transport B.V. for the construction of the first line of the South Stream Offshore Pipeline, from Russia to Bulgaria across the Black Sea, for a total value of approximately € 2 billion. The South Stream Offshore Pipeline will consist of four parallel gas pipelines each 931 kilometres long and will be laid at depths of up to 2,200 meters. The pipeline construction will be carried out by Saipem 7000, the state of the art J-Lay vessel suitable for ultra-deep water that has already constructed the Blue Stream pipeline in the Black Sea, and Saipem’s Castoro Sei, the S-lay vessel suitable for both shallow and deep waters which has already laid several trunklines, including the North Stream Pipeline. The construction of the first line will last until the third quarter of 2015 and the pipeline will be taken into operations by the end of that year. (Welders on Saipem Castoro Sei – Image: Saipem)
