Description
- Rhum started production in 2005 and is a subsea gas field which is tied back to the Bruce Oil and Gas Field in the central North Sea
- It is a challenging high-pressure, high temperature (HPHT)
- Gas is transported via the Frigg UK Gas Pipeline System to the Fuka St Fergus Gas Processing Terminal

- **AMEC:**
- Front-end engineering design
- Engineering and design, procurement, fabrication, hook-up, completions and commissioning support
- **Aker Solutions:** Umbilicals
- **BiFab:** Riser Caisson
History

Geology
- The Rhum reservoir consists of fine-grained Upper Jurassic turbidite sands deposited over a tilted fault block.
- The produced gas has an H2S content of 10-20ppm and a CO2 content of 4-8.5%, and as such is classified as both ‘sour’ and corrosive.
