Woodside lets work contract for Enfield oil field
LONDON, Sept. 19 — Woodside Energy Ltd., Perth, has let an engineering contract to Technip for Enfield oil field work off Australia.
Technip will replace an existing spool with one having characteristics slightly different from its predecessor. The company also will carry out engineering, procurement, fabrication, and installation of a new spool, which will increase the field’s oil production.
Enfield oil production began in July through the Nganhurra floating production, storage, and offloading vessel with a production rate of 100,000 b/d and a storage capacity of about 900,000 bbl of oil.
Enfield is on production license WA-28-L and has estimated reserves of about 127 million bbl of oil. This field is in waters 550 m deep off North West Cape, Western Australia.
Project execution will be supported by Technip Subsea 7 Asia Pacific (TS7), a joint venture of Technip and Subsea 7 that implements subsea operations in the Asia-Pacific region. Offshore installation will be carried out by TS7’s Rockwater 2 construction vessel.
Joint venture participants are Woodside Energy 60% and Mitsui E&P Australia Ltd. 40%.
