據8月3日Energy Voice報道，英國獨立石油天然氣公司(IOG)選擇了荷蘭HSM Offshore公司，為其位于北海南部的核心項目一起項目提供生產平臺。包括為Southwark和Blythe氣田設計、制造和安裝無人裝置。

第一階段包括開發Southwark、Blythe和Elgood氣田，通過5口生產井，將天然氣通過泰晤士河管道輸送到陸上的Bacton。

Southwark平臺將是第一階段和其他計劃開發的關鍵設施。Blythe平臺將是Blythe中心的焦點，其中包括Elgood海底回接。

IOG自2019年底以來一直與HSM合作，根據預先合同安排，確保平臺設計和制造活動按計劃在荷蘭Schiedam船廠繼續進行。海上安裝計劃將在2021年上半年進行。

IOG首席執行官安德魯·霍基表示:“我們很高興與HSM合作，共同制造和安裝Southwark和Blythe生產平臺，也很高興展示最近船廠的制造進展。HSM是一家備受尊敬的海上基礎設施制造商，擁有為荷蘭和英國北海地區建造平臺的悠久歷史。我們對他們迄今取得的成果感到鼓舞，特別是在疫情帶來嚴峻挑戰情況下。”

他補充道：“這些位于Southwark和Blythe的低碳設施將是安全有效執行我們天然氣樞紐戰略的關鍵基礎設施，不僅是我們SNS的核心項目資產，也是實現有價值的附加開發的基礎設施。”

HSM總經理Jaco Lemmerzaal表示:“HSM非常高興被IOG選為Southwark和Blythe平臺的承包商。我們運用了豐富的平臺工程和建造經驗，并朝著2021年上半年海上預定交付日期的目標，取得了良好進展。在成為北海南部重要天然氣生產商的過程中，我們期待繼續與IOG保持積極的關系。”

Independent Oil and Gas hands North Sea platforms contract to Dutch firm HSM

Independent Oil and Gas (IOG) has picked Dutch contractor HSM Offshore to provide the production platforms for phase one of its core project in the southern North Sea.

The deal covers the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of both normally unmanned installations for the Southwark and Blythe gas fields.

Phase one involves the development of the Southwark, Blythe and Elgood gas fields through a total of five production wells with gas transported onshore to Bacton via the Thames Pipeline.

The Southwark platform will be a key installation both for phase one and other planned developments.

The Blythe platform will be the focal point of the Blythe Hub which includes the Elgood subsea tie-back.

IOG has been working with HSM since late 2019 under pre-contractual arrangements to ensure that platform design and fabrication activities continue on schedule at the yard at Schiedam in the Netherlands.

Offshore installation is planned for the first half of 2021.

IOG chief executive Andrew Hockey said: “We are delighted to be working with HSM for the fabrication and installation of the Southwark and Blythe production platforms and are pleased to release an accompanying presentation showing recent fabrication progress at the yard.

“HSM are a highly respected offshore infrastructure fabricator with an extensive history of building platforms for both the Dutch and UK sectors of the North Sea and we are encouraged by the progress they have made to date, particularly in light of the challenges posed by Covid-19.

“These low carbon footprint facilities at Southwark and Blythe will be key infrastructure for the safe and effective execution of our gas hub strategy, not only for our SNS Core Project assets but also to enable valuable add-on developments.”

HSM managing director Jaco Lemmerzaal said: “HSM is very pleased to be selected as contractor by IOG for the Southwark and Blythe platforms.

“We are drawing on a wealth of platform engineering and construction experience and are making good progress towards the scheduled delivery date offshore in the first half of 2021.

“We look forward to continuing a positive relationship with IOG on its journey to become a substantial gas producer in the southern North Sea.”
