Breagh A Platform
Heerema Vlissingen, one of the three production locations of Heerema Fabrication Group (HFG), has been awarded the EPC contract of a minimum facilities platform for the Breagh A Development. This is the second contract this year to be awarded by RWE Dea UK to Heerema Vlissingen, following a contract earlier this year for a minimum facilities platform for the Clipper South Development.
For the Breagh A development, HFG will construct the jacket, topsides and piles at their Vlissingen yard in the Netherlands with a planned delivery date of late July 2011. The jacket will be approximately 85 m tall with a total weight (including the piles) of some 4,000 t. The topsides will weigh approximately 1,400 t. The Breagh A field is located in UKCS block 42/13 of the southern North Sea in 62 m water depth, approximately 100 km to the east of Teesside. Gas will be exported via a 20″ pipeline to be laid from the platform to the UK mainland.
The jacket, topsides and piles for the Clipper South development shall also be constructed in HFG’s yard in Vlissingen, with a planned delivery date of early July 2011. The jacket will be approximately 40 m tall with a total weight (including the piles) of some 1,160 t. The topsides will weigh approximately 2,000 t.
