Hurricane Energy said today that key infrastructure for the early production system on the Lancaster field had been delivered.
Two horizontal Xmas tree systems and an FPSO subsea control system have been delivered by TechnipFMC.
Hurricane said the deliveries were an important step in keeping its schedule for completing wells and installing kit later this year.
Xmas trees were delivered by TechnipFMC in Dunfermline. Proserv will now carry out integration and testing ahead of load out.
The FPSO subsea control system came from TechnipFMC’s facility in Kongsberg. It is now being shipped to Dubai, ready for installation on the Aoka Mizu FPSO.
Hurricane chief executive Robert Trice said: “I’m pleased to report that the two horizontal Xmas trees and the FPSO subsea control system have now been successfully delivered. The Company ordered the Xmas trees and control system in December 2016 and they were some of the key long lead items that drove the financing schedule in 2017.
“Their delivery represents a significant milestone in readiness for our 2018 well completion programme.
“I recently visited the Dunfermline facility with our engineering team and was glad that all were impressed by quality of work taking place. We have a fantastic working relationship with TechnipFMC and I’d like to thank them for completing this particularly critical element of the Lancaster EPS development.
“With other operations continuing as planned, we remain on schedule for first oil in H1 2019.”
