Engineering firm 2H Offshore has completed the installation of the first of 17 production top tension risers (TTRs) for Total exploration and production’s Moho Nord field offshore Congo.
The installation was conducted on the tension leg platform (TLP) in a water depth of approximately 800 metres.
The TLP has been designed to allow simultaneous operations between drilling, production, completion and coiled tubing intervention.
The TTRs have been designed for 25 years of service life and can be fitted on any of the 27 well slots in the field.
The first 17 are to be installed in the next four to five years. Total will then decide if future TTRs are to be added.
Yann Helle, managing director at 2H Offshore, said: “The successful collaboration between 2H and Total on the Moho Nord project demonstrates how 2H’s holistic delivery management approach offers significant cost savings and flexibility.
“Our independence and in depth understanding of risers allow us to work with a range of suppliers to source the best components at the best prices for the benefit of our customers.”
