Tyra redevelopment advances with sail away of topsides
The North Sea Tyra redevelopment project advanced with sail away of the three Tyra East wellhead and riser topsides, partner Norwegian Energy Co. ASA (Noreco) said in a July 26 statement.
The topsides were fabricated at Sembcorp Marine Ltd. in Singapore and will be transported directly to Tyra field by HTV (heavy transport vessel). The voyage is expected to take 1 month followed by an offshore installation in late August or early September.
The platforms will, in part, replace ageing equipment and sustain output of 60,000 boe/d at Tyra field for the next 25 years. It is expected that Tyra’s transformation will reduce CO2 emissions by 30% and flaring by 90%.
Following a COVID-19-related delay from 2022, first gas is expected in second-quarter 2023 (OGJ Online, Nov. 6, 2020).
Tyra is the largest gas condensate field in the Danish Sector of the North Sea. Its facilities process more than 90% of gas produced in Denmark, as well as the entire gas production of the Danish Underground Consortium (DUC) comprised of operator TotalEnergies 43.2%; Noreco 36.8%, and Nordsøfonden 20%.
