The central platform recently departed the COOEC-Fluor yard in
Zhuhai, China, and follows the successful loadout of the wellhead
platform in August 2018. The modules will make up part of a new
offshore oil and gas production platform in the western South China
Sea, 132 kilometers west of Dongfang City.
“This project epitomizes how the COOEC-Fluor team consistently
executes with excellence,” said Chris Vertanness, vice president of
Fluor and director of operations at the COOEC-Fluor fabrication
yard. “More than 2,000 craft workers safely delivered the project
on budget and on schedule with extremely high quality and
productivity.”
COOEC-Fluor was responsible for assembling, commissioning and
loading out the two offshore modules. The two modules have a total
weight of 19,100 metric tons, which is equal to about 10,000
passenger cars. The central platform module is larger than a soccer
field at 115 meters long, 46 meters wide and 96 meters high.
Safety was at the forefront as the project was completed with
2.3 million work hours without a recordable incident.
The project supports further natural gas development in the
South China Sea. Once in operation, the facility is expected to
produce 43,400 barrels-of-oil equivalent per day at peak from the
high-temperature and high-pressure gas fields.
The COOEC-Fluor fabrication yard is one of the world’s largest
fabrication yards at more than 2 million square meters in size.
Designed specifically for fabrication, the state-of-the-art yard
can accommodate some of the world’s largest modules weighing more
than 50,000 metric tons. In addition to module assembly, the yard
fabricates more than 7,000 tons of steel and more than 175,000 weld
diameter inches of pipe per month.
