Energean completes Karish sales gas pipelay
Energean PLC has completed installation of the sales gas export pipeline and main deepwater production systems in the Karish and Tanin development project, offshore Israel. Karish development is now 80% complete, according to Energean.
TechnipFMC completed core installation of 90.3 km of 30- and 24-in. OD pipeline at depths as much as 1,700 m using Allseas’ Solitaire pipelay vessel. Construction support vessel Normand Cutter completed installation of the production manifold and subsea isolation valve foundations and structures. The company expects full pipeline installation, including a tie-in manifold and precommissioning, to be completed fourth-quarter 2020.
Energean expects installation of three sets of risers (two 10-in. OD and one 16-in. OD) that will connect the development’s three producing wells to the 8-billion cu m/year Energean Power floating production vessel and then the sales gas pipeline to begin fourth-quarter 2020 and be completed first-quarter 2021.
Karish lies in the Alon C license in 5,700 ft of water. It was discovered in May 2013 and drilled to a depth of 15,783 ft, encountering 184 ft of net gas pay in high-quality lower Miocene sands with 0.9 tcf confirmed reserves.
Energean Israel operates Karish with 100% interest.
