Corinth Pipeworks has been selected by TotalEnergies and his Partners (WintershallDea and Pan American
Sur) to manufacture and supply approximately 40km of 24” longitudinally submerged arc welded steel pipes
for the Fenix phase 1 gas export pipeline.
Fenix gas field is part of the Cuenca Marina Austral (CMA-1) license, operated by Total Austral in Tierra del
Fuego, Argentina since the 1990’s, one of the world’s most southern offshore development locations. Fenix
will be the latest addition being developed with a minimum wellhead platform sending production towards
the Vega Pleyade platform for subsea connection to the existing pipeline to onshore.
The pipes will be manufactured in Corinth Pipeworks’ facilities in Greece, and installation work will
commence according to schedule in 2023. Scope of supply also includes external 3LPE anti-corrosion coating
and concrete weight coating applied at the same location as pipe manufacturing in Thisvi, Greece.
Corinth Pipeworks’ CEO, Ilias Bekiros noted: “we’ve made fantastic progress in offshore markets in recent
years we look forward to working with the TotalEnergies team in Argentina to make sure this is a successful
project.”
