Kraken FPSO hooked up, on track for delivery of first oil
LONDON -- EnQuest has announced that the Kraken Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel arrived at the field, in the UK North Sea, on Monday, Feb. 13. The hook-up of the submerged turret production (STP) buoy mooring system to the FPSO was completed on Feb. 15, and a full rotation test performed so that the vessel is now on station and securely moored.
Commissioning work will continue on the topsides. Reconstruction of the turret area pipework and connection of the risers and umbilicals to the swivel stack is being undertaken, followed by commissioning of the subsea infrastructure. Delivery of first oil in second-quarter 2017 is on track.
