204/20a Schiehallion NW Drill Centre Wet Parked Marine Riser



In Q2 2024, a Semi-submersible Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit incurred an unexpected release of the Lower Marine Riser Package, and the associated Marine Riser. This fell to seabed in the Schiehallion NW drill centre. Subsequent works were undertaken to cut the riser into manageable sections, relocate them to a wet park area outside the 500m zone at Schiehallion NW. Stabilisation material was then installed to secure their position pending retrieval to surface and subsequent on-shore disposal.


14 off Marine riser sections remain on the seabed at the location identified on the attached layout drawing. Their positioning has been secured utilising a combination of methods involving the following deployed equipment:

  • 24 off gabion bags (2 te each),
  • 24 off (6m x 3m mattresses),
  • 14 off horizontal nets and 
  • 1 off clump weight.

Plans are underway to retrieve all items during a single campaign scheduled for 2026 following which this notice will be retracted/updated to confirm full removal.

The Marine Riser was cut up, relocated and subsequently stabilised via a Marine Licence (ML/1100) issued by OPRED.

Bittern WI Pipeline replacement and tie in spool works - North Sea



Notification of commencement of Bittern WI Pipeline replacement and tie in spool works as per the condition of the Consent to Locate permit.


The works shall comprise the installtion of the following subsea pipeline or cable, or system of subsewa pipelines and cables:

 

- Bittern WI pipeline replacment and tie in spool

 

Dana intend to reinstate water injection at the Bittern field through installation of a new 12” water injection pipeline between the Triton FPSO and Bittern WA and WB XTs. The pipeline will be deployed by way of a pipelay vessel and laid on the seabed. The pipeline will subsequently be trenched and buried using a jet trencher. The pipeline will be accompanied by a number of jumpers and spools to tie-in to the water injection system. Rock placement, grout bags and mattresses may be required over the length of the pipeline.

 

As part of the system, they intend to install a 33.3 m tie-in spool connecting the new water injection pipeline (PL6609) to the WB XT. A combination of grout bags and concrete mattresses will be used to protect the pipeline.

The Works shall be located at: 57 04' 58.69" N, 00 53' 20.47" E Block 21/30.

 

The structure will be loaded onto the installation vessel in Peterhead and seafastened before undertaking the short transit to the field. Upon arrival, the seabed will be prepared by the temporary installation of transponder beacons to allow accurate positioning. The ship's crane will pick up the structure and overboard it clear of any subsea assets. The vessel will then step into the desired location and lower the structure to the seabed. The ship's ROV will disconnect installation rigging and recover all transponders and a structure based gyro.

 

As the structure is required to be located within the FPSO swing circle, heading control will be arranged for the FPSO to maintain a safe clearance between the FPSO and construction vessel. Once installed no further navigation aids are required.
