Doha: RasGas Company Ltd (RasGas) announced that the Barzan Gas
Project's four offshore platform topside modules, collectively weighing a
total of 9,500 tonnes, have safely arrived in Qatar.
The topsides, which include three wellhead platforms and an additional
living quarters module, made their 20-day journey from Ulsan, South
Korea to Qatar's North Field on a single barge measuring 43 metres in
width and more than 180 metres in length. The additional living quarters
will provide sleeping and living accommodation for 32 people working in
the North Field offshore platforms.
The safe completion of the topsides and their successful delivery to
Qatar marks the culmination of 32 months of close cooperation in
engineering and fabrication work between the RasGas and Hyundai Heavy
Industries (HHI) project teams which started in Malaysia and was
completed in South Korea. The next phase, which is the installation
process, is expected to be completed in October.RasGas was appointed by shareholders, QP and ExxonMobil, to manage the
Barzan Gas Project. When the two trains are in operation, they are
expected to supply approximately 1.4 billion standard cubic feet of gas
per day (Bscfd). As Qatar anticipates an increased demand for energy to
fuel infrastructure projects over the next decade, the Barzan Gas
Project has monumental significance for the country's sustainable
growth. Intended to fuel the country's planned megaprojects, the Barzan
gas-processing trains will make RasGas one of the largest single gas
processors in the world.
