+++ Description
* The Curlew field system comprises a floating production storage offloading unit (FPSO), [[Maersk Curlew FPSO]], connected via flexible flowlines and risers to three fields (Curlew B, C, and D)
* Gas is transported through the [[Fulmar Gas Pipeline]] for sale in the UK

+++ Contractors
* **A&P Tyne:** Construction of hull
* **AMEC:**
** Construction of Topsides
** FEED for for modifications to Maersk’s Curlew FPSO
* **KWSubsea:** Curlew C Development - Detailed design of 6km 8" production pipeline, 3" gas lift piggyback system, tie-in spoolpiece, control umbilical and pliant wave tether base
* **J P Kenny:** Design and supply of tee assembly for new well

+++ History
* 1996 - Project development approved by UK Government
* 2007 - Project development approved by UK Government for Curlew C
* 2010 - AMEC awarded FEED for for modifications to the FPSO
