For more than three decades, Allseas has been the go-to contractor for complex offshore installation projects in the region, supporting energy companies in safely and reliably unlocking vital resources. This latest award further underlines our role in delivering large-scale, strategic energy infrastructure in the Gulf.
Awarded by pipeline operator Shell Pipeline Company LP on behalf of Amberjack Pipeline Company LLC, a joint venture between Shell Pipeline Company LP and Chevron Pipe Line Company, the contract covers the installation of the 150-km, 24-inch Rome Pipeline stretching from Shell’s Green Canyon 19 (GC-19) platform to the Louisiana coast. The line will add vital capacity to Shell’s extensive Gulf of America pipeline network.
Scope of Work
Allseas’ scope includes engineering, procurement, and installation of the pipeline. Our automatically positioned anchor barge Sandpiper will execute the nearshore section in 2027, followed by the dynamically positioned pipelay vessel Solitaire for the deepwater section in 2028.
“We are proud to once again be entrusted with the delivery of a strategic deepwater pipeline in the Gulf of America,” said Frank Kluwen, General Manager, Allseas USA. “This award demonstrates Allseas’ expertise, track record, and ability to execute complex projects safely and efficiently.”
The Rome Pipeline is part of a broader strategy to expand and modernize Gulf of America export infrastructure, building on projects such as the Amberjack Debottleneck Project, executed by Allseas in 2016.
To date, Allseas has safely installed around 8,000 km of pipelines in the Gulf, creating the vital subsea arteries that keep energy flowing to shore.
