SPT Offshore has received the Letter of Intent (LOI) for the detailed design of the suction pile foundation, design supervision of the jacket and full transportation and installation (T&I) of the Ophir wellhead platform (WHP) from Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd.

MEB Ophir Muhibbah is the EPCIC contractor for this project, which is based on SPT Offshore’s solution consisting of an tri-legged jacket with an integrated suction pile foundation.

Mark Riemers, MD of SPT Offshore, said: “This award proves that suction pile foundations for wellhead platforms are a very cost efficient solution and provides the option for re-use at other fields. Despite the downturn in the offshore oil and gas sector, SPT Offshore was able to secure this project.

“The jacket with integrated suction pile foundation will be installed in one piece offshore, making a safe and swift offshore execution possible. We trust that by securing this project, SPT Offshore will be involved in more marginal field projects with our suction pile solutions.”
