Reef Subsea secures contract for jet trencher

摘要

Reef Subsea has secured its first pipeline trenching project for its Q1000 jet trencher. The trencher will be used for the Sierra L5 pipeline for client GDF SUEZ. Reef Subsea has mobilised the Q1000 on Reef Despina to provide trenching of the rigid pipeline in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. The Sierra L5 pipeline project, which is located 96km off the coast of the Netherlands, will see Reef Subsea operate in water depths of up to 42m. The Q1000 jet trencher is a jet-trenching ROV embracing the latest technologies in jet trenching and ROV design. With 750kW of total installed power and 700kW of variable jetting power, the Q1000 is capable of trenching pipelines, umbilicals and cables up to 3m into the seabed.
