timeline to first gas by the end of 202119 Jun 2021 13:36
Two gas compressors packages are currently being designed by specialist fabricators in Kent. Each unit is rated at 5 MMscf/d each with Caterpillar gas engines and Ariel reciprocating compressor sections. The engines and compressor ends have been identified and secured for the project. Delivery to site of the first pre-fabricated unit will be in October.
A condensate stabilisation system is being designed by a Hull based engineering group with extensive experience supporting gas production operations in the region. Local UK fabricators have been contacted and build slots identified to allow for equipment manufacture to fit the project schedule. This includes associated options for the Joules-Thompson dew pointing device and a desiccant dehydration system.
Gas commercial sales meter and analyser skid incorporating state-of-the-art Honeywell equipment is completely designed and subsequently reviewed by the National Grid. The equipment is under fabrication in the UK working towards delivery in mid-July.
Detailed design of the process facility continues with Aberdeen based engineering house, Optimus. The current design in progress will be iterated to include final equipment selections and matured into the complete design package. Bulk materials will be ordered based on the specifications developed in the detail design. HSE and Regulatory review will be progressed.
Construction activities are planned over several months with multiple local specialist contractors. On site operations will commence in July with limited groundwork preparations on this pre-developed site. In situ fabrication of flowlines will commence in August and main production equipment will be connected as individual skid packages arrive.
Further to its presentation of 24 February, and in view of the revised timeline of the funding, the Company is now targeting commissioning of the field during Q4 2021 and First Gas around the year end.
