Use of near-surface pipeline tow for installation of flow lines in the offshore Tunisian Cercina oil field yielded a savings over a conventional laybarge operation of more than $3 million and accelerated the project schedule for an earlier completion. The paper discusses the development of the field, evaluation of installation plans, preparations for tow installation, route selection, pipe make up, two operations, and lessons learned.
