Corinth Pipeworks has announced the acquisition of a significant contract from Woodside Energy, the operator of the Trion deepwater field. The contract entails the manufacture and supply of approximately 118 kilometers of High Frequency Welded steel pipes for the Trion field, situated in the Perdido Fold Belt in the Gulf of Mexico’s Mexican waters. This pioneering greenfield development, located roughly 180km off the Mexican coastline and 30km south of the US-Mexico maritime border, is set to be Mexico’s first deepwater production site, with potential for future discoveries to be integrated into Trion’s facilities.
Trion is a joint venture between Woodside Petróleo Operaciones de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. (60 percent, Operator) and Pemex Exploración y Producción (40 percent, non-Operator). The development includes a wet tree subsea system connected to an infield floating production unit, which will be linked to a floating storage and offloading unit, ensuring efficient resource extraction and processing.
This contract marks a significant milestone in Corinth Pipeworks’ offshore presence in the Gulf of Mexico, as end-users and contractors increasingly recognize the advantages of welded pipe technology for critical offshore applications. The pipes will be manufactured at Corinth Pipeworks’ state-of-the-art facilities, with the scope of supply also covering the application of external coating and concrete weight coating. These processes will be performed at the same location as the pipe manufacturing, ensuring optimal quality control and efficiency.
“We are delighted to be selected by Woodside Energy for the Trion offshore project,” said Ilias Bekiros, general manager at Corinth Pipeworks. “This award underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality solutions that meet the stringent demands of deepwater energy developments. We look forward to contributing to this groundbreaking project.”
The award signifies Corinth Pipeworks’ growing influence and capability in the offshore sector, particularly in deepwater projects where advanced engineering and manufacturing excellence are critical.
This accomplishment not only highlights the hard work and dedication of the team but also sets a benchmark for safety in the industry. Colonial Pipeline Terminals continues to demonstrate that a strong safety culture is integral to operational success.
