Allseas will install a new export pipeline that will significantly enhance oil transport capacity, flexibility and efficiency in the central of Gulf of America. The contract covers the 150-kilometre, 24-inch Rome Pipeline stretching from Shell’s Green Canyon 19 (GC-19) platform to the Louisiana coast.
For more than three decades, Allseas has been the go-to contractor for complex offshore installation projects in the region, supporting energy companies in safely and reliably unlocking vital resources. This latest contract was awarded by pipeline operator Shell Pipeline Company LP on behalf of Amberjack Pipeline Company LLC, a joint venture between Shell Pipeline Company LP and Chevron Pipe Line Company. The line will add vital capacity to Shell’s extensive Gulf of America pipeline network.

Scope of work
Allseas’ scope includes engineering, procurement and installation of the pipeline. The company’s automatically positioned anchor barge Sandpiper will execute the nearshore section in 2027, followed by dynamically positioned pipelay vessel Solitaire for the deepwater section in 2028.
The Rome Pipeline is part of a broader strategy to expand and modernise Gulf of America export infrastructure, building on projects such as the Amberjack Debottleneck Project, executed by Allseas in 2016.
To date, Allseas has safely installed around 8000 kilometres of pipelines in the Gulf.
