Dutch engineering firm HSM Offshore Energy has bagged a deal to fabricate two North Sea platforms.
The A15 and B10 gas fields are located in the northern Dutch North Sea and are operated by Petrogas E&P Netherlands, with EBN, Rockrose and Taqa.
Petrogas’s general manager Nick Dancer recently revealed on LinkedIn that the firm has picked HSM, part of Andus Group, for the engineering, procurement and construction of the platforms.
It reflects a “continuation of a good relationship between both companies”, following on from the A18 Platform which HSM built in 2015, Mr Dancer said.
The A15 and B10 satellite platforms will be connected via new pipelines to existing infrastructure in the area.
They will also be hooked up through new umbilicals to the A12 central processing installation, where the gas will be treated and sent to shore.
Mr Dancer said: “The Stage 2+ Project consists of the construction and installation of two identical satellite platforms, one on the A15 gas field and one on the B10 gas field.
“By undertaking the two projects together, with identically designed platforms, we have achieved significant cost and time synergies as well as reducing risk to the project.”
HSM also manufactured the topsides for the Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) offshore wind farm.
The scheme is a joint venture between EDF Renewables and ESB and is currently being built about 9 miles off the Fife coast.
