The two companies have worked together on a number of North Sea projects from Subsea 7’s Vigra spoolbase (pictured), designing and installing more than 150 kilometres of reeled and bundled polyethylene lined water injection flowlines.

“Building upon a long-term strategic objective to provide more cost-effective solutions, Subsea 7 and Swagelining have a shared vision of the potential that polymer lining could have in future subsea engineering and construction projects, with a focus on extending the application of polymer lined flowlines,” says Thomas Sunde, vice president technology at Subsea 7.
