IOG与荷兰HSM签订北海项目生产平台合同

据8月3日Energy Voice报道，英国独立石油天然气公司(IOG)选择了荷兰HSM Offshore公司，为其位于北海南部的核心项目一起项目提供生产平台。包括为Southwark和Blythe气田设计、制造和安装无人装置。

第一阶段包括开发Southwark、Blythe和Elgood气田，通过5口生产井，将天然气通过泰晤士河管道输送到陆上的Bacton。

Southwark平台将是第一阶段和其他计划开发的关键设施。Blythe平台将是Blythe中心的焦点，其中包括Elgood海底回接。

IOG自2019年底以来一直与HSM合作，根据预先合同安排，确保平台设计和制造活动按计划在荷兰Schiedam船厂继续进行。海上安装计划将在2021年上半年进行。

IOG首席执行官安德鲁·霍基表示:“我们很高兴与HSM合作，共同制造和安装Southwark和Blythe生产平台，也很高兴展示最近船厂的制造进展。HSM是一家备受尊敬的海上基础设施制造商，拥有为荷兰和英国北海地区建造平台的悠久历史。我们对他们迄今取得的成果感到鼓舞，特别是在疫情带来严峻挑战情况下。”

他补充道：“这些位于Southwark和Blythe的低碳设施将是安全有效执行我们天然气枢纽战略的关键基础设施，不仅是我们SNS的核心项目资产，也是实现有价值的附加开发的基础设施。”

HSM总经理Jaco Lemmerzaal表示:“HSM非常高兴被IOG选为Southwark和Blythe平台的承包商。我们运用了丰富的平台工程和建造经验，并朝着2021年上半年海上预定交付日期的目标，取得了良好进展。在成为北海南部重要天然气生产商的过程中，我们期待继续与IOG保持积极的关系。”

Independent Oil and Gas hands North Sea platforms contract to Dutch firm HSM

Independent Oil and Gas (IOG) has picked Dutch contractor HSM Offshore to provide the production platforms for phase one of its core project in the southern North Sea.

The deal covers the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of both normally unmanned installations for the Southwark and Blythe gas fields.

Phase one involves the development of the Southwark, Blythe and Elgood gas fields through a total of five production wells with gas transported onshore to Bacton via the Thames Pipeline.

The Southwark platform will be a key installation both for phase one and other planned developments.

The Blythe platform will be the focal point of the Blythe Hub which includes the Elgood subsea tie-back.

IOG has been working with HSM since late 2019 under pre-contractual arrangements to ensure that platform design and fabrication activities continue on schedule at the yard at Schiedam in the Netherlands.

Offshore installation is planned for the first half of 2021.

IOG chief executive Andrew Hockey said: “We are delighted to be working with HSM for the fabrication and installation of the Southwark and Blythe production platforms and are pleased to release an accompanying presentation showing recent fabrication progress at the yard.

“HSM are a highly respected offshore infrastructure fabricator with an extensive history of building platforms for both the Dutch and UK sectors of the North Sea and we are encouraged by the progress they have made to date, particularly in light of the challenges posed by Covid-19.

“These low carbon footprint facilities at Southwark and Blythe will be key infrastructure for the safe and effective execution of our gas hub strategy, not only for our SNS Core Project assets but also to enable valuable add-on developments.”

HSM managing director Jaco Lemmerzaal said: “HSM is very pleased to be selected as contractor by IOG for the Southwark and Blythe platforms.

“We are drawing on a wealth of platform engineering and construction experience and are making good progress towards the scheduled delivery date offshore in the first half of 2021.

“We look forward to continuing a positive relationship with IOG on its journey to become a substantial gas producer in the southern North Sea.”
