+++ 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
+++ Contractors
- **Saipem:** A 44km pipe-inpipe export pipeline connecting Rhum field to Bruce platform
- **AMEC:**
- Front-end engineering design
- Engineering and design, procurement, fabrication, hook-up, completions and commissioning support
- **Aker Solutions:** Umbilicals
- **BiFab:** Riser Caisson
+++ History
- 2002 - AMEC awarded FEED contract
- 2003 - Project development approved by UK Government
- 2003 - Saipem awarded pipeline contract
- 2010 - BP Suspends Production from Rhum Gas Field
- 2013 - The UK government allows the restart of the field
+++ 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.
