Tyra II: Completion of Successful Offshore Installation Campaign
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.
