£643m EnQuest project under way

UK North Sea oil and gas company firm EnQuest is moving ahead with the £643million development of the Alma and Galia fields.

Technip said yesterday it had been awarded the contract for the work 192 miles south-east of Aberdeen.

First oil is expected in the last quarter of next year.

The fields will be tied back to the EnQuest Producer floating production unit, which is in Hamburg for a refit.

The work includes installation of flowlines, risers and installation of a 175-ton manifold structure, plus associated trenching operations, tie-ins, testing and commissioning.
