Morrison Completes First Pipeline Installation of 2025 in the Gulf of America

Morrison is proud to announce the successful completion of the first pipeline installation in the Gulf of America for the 2025 season. This milestone project marks the beginning of what promises to be a productive year for offshore energy infrastructure development in American waters, reinforcing Morrison’s position as the largest domestic offshore pipeline expert in the United States.

The installation was expertly executed by the crew aboard the DLB Super Chief, Morrison’s 265′ x 72′ pipelay barge that is ABS-classed and proudly US flagged: The 8” oil pipeline was installed for Crescent Midstream off the coast of Louisiana in 425 ft of water. Working in deeper waters than many competitors can access, the Super Chief team demonstrated Morrison’s commitment to pushing boundaries and expanding capabilities in challenging offshore environments. This achievement highlights the company’s technical expertise and operational excellence that have become hallmarks of Morrison’s work in the energy sector.

By putting pipelines back in action in the Gulf of America, Morrison continues to contribute significantly to energy security and economic development along the Gulf Coast and throughout the nation. The successful completion of this project reinforces the importance of continued investment in offshore energy transportation systems.

As Morrison kicks off the 2025 pipeline season with this accomplishment, the company looks forward to delivering more critical energy infrastructure projects throughout the year. The Super Chief and Morrison’s experts stand ready to take on new challenges, working in various marine environments to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable pipeline installations that help power America’s future.
