ARCO COMPLETES YACHENG GAS LINE

June 6, 1994

ARCO China has finished construction of its 28 in. gas pipeline from Yacheng 13-1 field in the South China Sea to Hong Kong. The project off China was handled by European Marine Contractor's Semac 1 semisubmersible lay barge (see P. 91). Pipelay on the 707 km main line was finished 1 month ahead of schedule. Semac 1 later this summer will install a 14 in., 100 km condensate line from the Yacheng platform to Hainan Island.

In August, Saipem's Castoro V shallow draft pipelay vessel will mobilize to Chinese waters to complete the shallowater section of the 28 in. trunk line in the Pearl River estuary. This work will extend the trunk line about 70 km to landfall at Black Point.

Start-up for the entire pipeline project is scheduled for early 1996.
