Maersk Oil North Sea UK Limited, operator of the Culzean development in the North Sea, has awarded a contract for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the project’s well head platform (WHP) jacket to Heerema Hartlepool Limited.
Heerema will build the WHP jacket and piles, the well head access deck and access ways. It’s expected that the well head access deck and access ways will be fabricated in Hartlepool, with the WHP jacket being built in Vlissingen in the Netherlands. The contract is expected to be ready for ‘sail away’ ahead of the drilling startup on the project in Q2 2016, subject to a final investment decision in 2015.
