BW Pioneer FPSO-2

Welaptega Marine has been awarded a contract to inspect riser moorings on the high-profile Petrobras Cascade Chinook development in the Gulf of Mexico.

Welaptega will measure mooring chains that connect four vertical risers to buoyancy tanks on the the BW Pioneer FPSO. The Pioneer is the world’s deepest FPSO, operating in 2600 meters of water 180 miles off the coast of Louisiana.

“This is part of a longterm life cycle mooring integrity inspection,” said Tony Hall, CEO of Welaptega Marine. “Petrobras and the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) recognize the importance of regular inspection as part of a wider integrity strategy.”
