Project Profile
Value: US$243 million
Location: North Sea, 190km east of Aberdeen
Term Start: 2010
Term Finish: 2013
The three Triton fields lie in the North Sea, 190km east of Aberdeen. They are being developed using an FPSO, located approximately 20km away from the Bittern field and 12km from the Guillemot West field, via subsea facilities comprising a series of pipelines and manifolds.
The subsea facilities comprise six subsea structures. These include four production manifolds, a subsea isolation valve (SSIV) skid and a pipeline-end manifold at the Fulmar Gas Line entry point. This is tied back to the FPSO by a series of nine pipelines, totalling more than 160km in length.
