A spoolbase is a shore based facility used for welding single joints of pipe, predominantly steel pipe of 4" to 18" diameter, into predetermined lengths for spooling onto a reel lay vessel. Shore based spoolbases serve the oil and gas sector from locations in the USA, UK, Norway, Brazil, and Angola, and portable spoolbases may be set up in any location to suit local requirements.
Currently, the most notable and certainly the most productive spoolbase in the world is the Technip Theodore spoolbase near Mobile, Alabama, USA.
