BACKGROUND:
The Malampaya Deep Water Gas to Power project delivers gas from an off-shore gas field to three power plants near the city of Batangas (100 kilometers south of Manila) in the Philippines.
The project consists of an off-shore production platform, a 504 km subsea pipeline, and an on-shore gas treatment plant. Those spools and external coating were fabricated by Wilhelm and Tyhoo,besides both of Wilhelm and Tyhoo were approved by SHELL.
Gas from five subsea wellheads is transported via two 30 km flowlines to a production platform that sits in shallow water. On the platform the condensate is removed from the gas and stored for retrieval by tankers using a catenary anchored leg mooring (CALM) buoy. Then the gas is compressed for export to the gas treatment plant through the 504 km pipeline.
