Hurricane Energy reports delivery of key subsea components for Lancaster EPS

LONDON -- Hurricane Energy plc, the UK based oil and gas company focused on hydrocarbon resources in naturally fractured basement reservoirs, has provided an operational update in relation to the Early Production System on Lancaster field (Lancaster EPS).

Highlights

• Two horizontal Xmas tree systems delivered by TechnipFMC
• FPSO subsea control system also delivered by TechnipFMC
• Xmas trees and controls were some of the key long lead items for the Lancaster EPS
• Completion of this scope is an important step in enabling Hurricane to maintain schedule for the planned Q2/3 2018 well completions and installation program

The horizontal Xmas tree systems for the Lancaster EPS, including fishing friendly protective structures, have now been delivered ex-works by TechnipFMC from its facility in Dunfermline. Proserv UK Ltd. will now carry out integration and testing with its Intervention Workover Control Systems (IWOCS). Once this and other testing has taken place, the Xmas tree systems will be prepared for loading onto the rig, to be installed during the completion works planned for later this year.

The FPSO subsea control system has also been delivered ex-works by TechnipFMC from its facility in Kongsberg. It is now being shipped to Dubai, ready for installation on the Aoka Mizu FPSO.

Hurricane continues to work closely with TechnipFMC as part of its contracted integrated service offering. Together with its subcontractors, including SBM Offshore Services Inc, TechnipFMC is continuing to work to ensure the safe and timely installation of the turret mooring system (TMS) and the subsea systems (flowlines, risers, umbilical, jumpers and manifold), for the Lancaster EPS. These elements remain on schedule for installation during the Q2/3 2018 weather window.
