Project Profile

        Value: US$1.2 billion
Production (peak): 260 mmcfd (7.4 mmcmd)
Start-up year: December 2015
Location: Bellanbridge, Co. Mayo, Ireland

The development plan for the Corrib field comprises subsea wells, which will be tied back to a central gathering manifold, connected to an offshore pipeline. This will carry gas back to a landfall point, and then a short distance onshore to a processing terminal, also in Co Mayo. ABB won a US$30 million order to deliver the subsea production system. Under the terms of the contract, ABB is responsible for the engineering, procurement, fabrication and testing of the subsea and associated shore-based equipment. ABB's involvement will include project management, engineering and the supply of the manifold and protection structures, control system, subsea trees, diverless tie-in equipment, intervention equipment, integration testing and installation support. At peak, Corrib should deliver 260 MMcf/d (7.4 mcm per day).
