In 2013 Resinex and KBR jointly developed the flotation project that led to the construction of 13 modular floats to transport the large support pylons of the Chirag platform in the Caspian Sea.
In the Caspian Sea , in the territory of Azerbaijan, about 120 kilometers east of Baku, about 120 meters depth , are located three oil fields (Azeri , Chirag and Gunashli ) that are part of the vast complex of about 50 km length where hydrocarbons are accumulated on different layers.
In March 2009, BP (on behalf of Azerbaijan International Operating Company- AIOC ) has awarded KBR the FEED and procurement contract for construction of the Chirag drilling platform. The lack of so big marine vessels in the Caspian Sea has led KBR to evaluate the choice to carry the huge piles supporting the platform with a floating system.
Resinex and KBR have together developed the floatation project that led to the creation of 13 Modular floats (each with 16 modules ) with a total nett buoyancy of 585 tons. The operation was successfully completed in the Summer of 2013.
