Offshore Platforms

Offshore Platforms

5.3.1 Overview

The Phase 3 offshore platforms will consist of a DUQ platform bridge linked to the PCWU
platform (Figure 5.4). Together, the two installations will provide the necessary facilities for
the production and partial processing of hydrocarbon products prior to its export to shore, in
addition to drilling and water injection requirements. The following sections summarise the
platform facility design/layout, the fabrication/construction and onshore pre-commissioning
activities, plus the load-out and offshore installation, hook-up and commissioning activities.
Operational activities of the platforms are described in Section 5.5.

5.3.2.1 Drilling Template

The Phase 3 drilling template will be of similar design as for the Phase 1 and Phase 2
templates (Figure 5.5). It will provide 12 well slots for the pre-drill programme. Pin Piles shall
be used for the docking guides for the installation of the DUQ jacket. The template will be
constructed from high-grade marine steel, with corrosion protection provided by anti-corrosion
/ anti-fouling paint and zinc-aluminium sacrificial anodes.
