Maersk Oil said that fabrication of the $1bn-plus topsides destined for its $4.5bn UK North Sea Culzean gas megaproject has begun. The steel-cutting ceremony for the first of the three topsides modules took place at the Sembcorp Marine Offshore Platforms yard in Singapore on April 7.
Culzean is the largest hydrocarbon discovery in the UK North Sea for over a decade, says Maersk. The high pressure, high temperature (HP/HT) field is some 145 miles east of Aberdeen. Operator Maersk has a 49.99% interest; its partners are Japan’s JX Nippon E&P 34.01% and BP 16%.
Sanctioned in August 2015, Culzean is expected to produce 400-500mn ft3/d (equivalent to 60,000 to 90,000 boe/d) at plateau production for at least 13 years – with roughly half net to Maersk. It benefits from a UK tax concession for HP/HT developments.
