Description
- In order to access the new reservoir, the project has installed a new subsea system and caisson onto the Andrew platform. Four subsea pipeline bundles with a total length of 28 km - the longest bundle system in the world - will carry the fluids to the Andrew platform for processing and onward export.
- Production from Kinnoull is forecast to peak at 45,000 barrels per day and be exported via the existing Forties Pipeline System to Kinneil and the CATS pipeline system to Teesside.
- The Arundel field is tied into the Kinnoull infrastructure
Contractors
- **Heerema:** fabrication of the 750 tons process module with a length 18 meters, a width of 13 meters and a height of 28 meters for installation on the existing BP Andrew platform
- **Subsea 7:** Engineer, procure, fabricate, install and commission a 28km pipeline bundle system consisting of production, gas lift and methanol pipelines. Also included is the installation of a 28km electro-hydraulic control umbilical, tie-ins of integrated subsea towhead structures, field testing and pre-commissioning works.
