Gas fields development, Krishna Godavari basin

A large-scale dredging, trenching, pipe pulling and backfilling project. Reliance Industries develops the offshore gas field known as Block KGDWN-98/3 in the Krishna Godavari Basin, Bay of Bengal off the East Coast of India. The gas field will be linked to onshore customers and covers an area of approximately 7,500 km2. The field stretches an area 40 to 60 kilometers southeast of Kakinada. The scope of works comprised the dredging of a 21 kilometers long and 18 meters wide trench for three 24" gas pipelines, each with a 6" piggyback pipeline, one 12" effluent pipeline and two umbilical cables in water depths ranging from 0 to 50 meters. After pipe laying by the main contractor the pipeline trench was backfilled with partly rock and sand.

Development LNG field, Snøhvit

The Snøhvit development comprises three fields – Snøhvit, Albatross and Askeladd. These are located in the Barents Sea, about 140 kilometers north-west of Hammerfest in northern Norway. All primarily contain natural gas with small quantities of condensate. Snøhvit is the first major development on the Norwegian continental shelf without surface installations.

Crude oil unloading facilities, Sri Racha

Thai Oil Public Company Limited is the largest petroleum oil refiner and supplier in Thailand. To enable Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) up to 320,000 DWT or a freight capacity of up to two million barrels to berth at Thai Oil's refinery in Sri Racha, Chonburi Province, a second Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) facility was installed approximately 14 km offshore, in water depths of around 30 m. From this buoy, a 52' diameter concrete coated steel pipeline had to be installed to the landfall location near the Thai Oil refinery.

Installation gas pipeline, Balgzand-Bacton

BBL Company was established to design, construct, operate and exploit the Balgzand-Bacton Pipeline (BBL) for the transmission of natural gas from Balgzand, the Netherlands to Bacton in the United Kingdom. The overall length of the 36" offshore pipeline is some 230 kilometers. The capacity is around 42 million m3 of gas a day. As part of the pipeline installation, Saipem UK Ltd awarded Boskalis Offshore the contracts for the shore approaches at Julianadorp, the Netherlands and Bacton in the United Kingdom and the presweeping and rock dumping works along the pipeline route on the North Sea.

Platform installation,
De Ruyter field

The De Ruyter field, discovered in 1996, straddles Blocks P10a and P11b in the North Sea, which are both operated by Petro-Canada. The development consists of a Gravity Base Structure (GBS) with wellhead and lattice towers supporting an Integrated Production Deck (IPD). De Ruyter joins Hanze as Petro-Canada’s second operated offshore field in the Dutch North Sea. Heerema Zwijndrecht was awarded the fabrication, installation and hook-up of the GBS and IPD. The transportation, installation and stabilisation of the GBS was subcontracted to a consortium between Smit Marine Projects and Boskalis Offshore.
