OSLO, Norway, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Norwegian
Energy Company ASA ("Noreco" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce the successful offshore lift and installation of the three
Tyra West wellhead and riser platforms ("TW-WHRP"), the utility-
and living quarters ("accommodation unit") and two bridges.
Over a period of ten days, the world's largest crane vessel,
Sleipnir, safely lifted and installed the units in position at the
Tyra field in the North Sea. The three 3,485 tons wellhead and
riser platforms were lifted onto the waiting jackets and installed
at Tyra West. The lift and installation of the 5,584 tons
accommodation unit onto the jackets at Tyra East concluded this
spring's offshore installation campaign, and seven out of eight
platforms are now in their final position.
"We are proud to announce this important installation
milestone for Tyra II. The planning and execution of these
precision lifts are impressive, and the offshore campaign has been
completed without a single recordable incident. With seven out of
eight platforms in place we have progressed the project closer to a
near-doubling of production from the DUC with Tyra onstream from Q2
2023," said Marianne Eide, EVP
Upstream in Noreco.
"During times when energy security is critical, the
importance of Tyra II cannot be overstated. With Tyra on stream,
the need for imported natural gas to Denmark will be significantly reduced. The
reinvigorated facilities also provide modern infrastructure that
will unlock the further development of the DUC's material
discovered resource portfolio at a substantially lower emissions
intensity. The redevelopment of Tyra is a first step in
unlocking a valuable and strategically important future for the
DUC," she concluded.
