The platform is an important element in the overall scope of the Zora project, the aim of which is to extract the reserves from the Zora field through an offshore facility and to transport the reserves via a 35km subsea pipeline to an onshore gas processing facility.
Fabrication of the platform will be carried out by Adyard and will include the manufacture and erection of the structure and the different deck levels.
Adyard will also prepare the finished platform for safe and secure loading onto a transportation vessel. The platform will eventually be installed in a water depth of 24 meters, along with associated facilities.
Dana Gas CEO Patrick Allman-Ward said, "This contract is the first strategically significant development towards bringing the Zora gas field on-stream."
