Black Sea landfall

22 Oct 2020 | Oil & Gas

OPTIMUM continues to expand its international reach with its latest mission in Romania. The 1500m long horizontal curve landfall project, which used an anchored lay barge during pull-back, will connect two natural gas fields 120kms out in the Black Sea to the inland gas treatment plant.

OPTIMUM’s engineers were present in Romania for over 6 weeks and supervised HDD operations onsite 24/7 given the geotechnical complexities of the project, now one of the longest landfalls ever drilled in soft soils (sand, silt and clay).

OPTIMUM has been involved in this project since 2018 at the request of the contractor, Black Sea Oil & Gas, providing technical expertise to support the engineering and project preparation teams.
