The project involves the installation of three Perseus sub-sea wells, a Searipple sub-sea well, a new 22km subsea pipeline linking the wells to the Goodwyn platform, as well as a new riser and platform modifications.

Subsea pipeline and riser engineering has been performed by J P Kenny. FMC Technologies are supplying subsea systems including four subsea trees, production controls and associated equipment. The contract value to FMC Technologies is approximately $44 million in revenue. Butting is supplying 16-inch mechanically bonded BuBi® line pipe. DUCO Ltd has been awarded a contract to design, engineer and manufacture the umbilical systems. DUCO’s scope of supply includes 30 km of umbilicals and subsea hardware required to tie-in the PoG, Searipple and SSIV production systems to the Goodwyn Platform. The project will be carried out at DUCO’s dedicated facility in the United Kingdom.

Technip CSO Venturer is expected on location at end November for installation of subsea wells, umbilicals and risers from Perseus-over-Goodwyn to Goodwyn-A platform. Technip has awarded Halliburton a contract to provide pipeline testing and pre-commissioning services. The work will be undertaken by Halliburton's Production Optimisation Division. The two-month contract, starting in November, includes the pre-flooding of spools, riser filling, post tie-in leak testing, bulk dewatering, as well as an option to provide monitoring during pipe lay.

Allseas have been awarded the flowline pipelay, fabrication & installation of in-line tees, survey support and flowline pre-commissioning activities including flooding, gauging and hydrotesting. Pipelay will be done with the Lorelay DP vessel.

The installation of subsea equipment in water depths ranging from 125 m to 134 m is scheduled for late 2006. Perseus over Goodwyn is targeted for completion mid-2007.
