INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG Project has seen three more subsea production manifolds safely and successfully landed on the seabed, bringing the total to four.
The first of five production manifolds was lowered in June 2015.
Located about 220 kilometres offshore Western Australia, Ichthys represents the largest discovery of hydrocarbon liquids in Australia in 40 years.
According to the company, the 435-ton manifolds were installed in around two days, landed within tolerances and ahead of schedule.
When operational, five manifolds will commingle production from the subsea wellheads, distributing to the project’s central processing facility via 18 inch flowlines and flexible risers.
This is part of a campaign to install more than 30,000 tonnes of subsea infrastructure and equipment across the Field.
