Aquatic Supports Bibby Offshore in ETAP Project for BP

Aquatic Engineering & Construction, an Acteon company, will support Bibby Offshore in replacing subsea infrastructure in the North Sea as part of BP’s $1 billion Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) life extension project.

Aquatic will deploy its carousel system to install 35 kilometers of umbilical ensuring electrical control capability between ETAP’s central processing facility and the Machar field, the company explained.

The umbilical lay campaign is scheduled to start in June and is expected to last approximately 30 days.

This is the first phase of Bibby’s five vessel campaign, involving trenching, structure and riser installation followed by electrical diagnostics and commissioning works.

Aquatic has also been subcontracted to provide lay equipment and personnel for the riser installation campaign in September of this year, the company added.

ETAP, located 240 kilometers east of Aberdeen, comprises nine oil and gas reservoirs, six of which are operated by BP. The ETAP life extension project will help secure the future of the fields until 2030 and beyond.

UTC 2017

The subsea industry has, as all other parts of the oil & gas industry, been seriously rattled by the most severe downturn in the hydrocarbon energy era. However, the realization of what hit us and actions to be taken to sustain a healthy and profitable future is still on-going – unfortunately with thousands of colleagues paying the price by losing their job as one of the most severe consequences. At this time, there are signs that we have reached bottom in terms of most industry indicators, but few experts expect a sharp recovery. Many seem to believe that a slow recovery is what the industry needs in order to avoid an unsustainable capacity build-up, as seen in the period after the financial crisis. Considering the uncertainty of what the future will bring, this year’s UTC Program Committee have decided to challenge all of us to present ideas, experiences, technological innovations, business models and execution models for how to shape our subsea future and explain how and why subsea is the future.
UTC welcomes abstracts based on the topics listed below. If selected, please consider writing a paper in addition to the UTC presentation. From 2017, UTC papers will be published in an international database.
