Allseas will carry out detailed design engineering and will lay the approximately 100km of 20-inch export line, 3-inch mono ethylene glycol line and fibre optic cable from the Breagh ‘A’ platform location to a beach valve station located on Coatham Sands, Teesside, UK.
The Allseas pipelay vessel Lorelay will lay the main section of the pipeline with the Tog Mor laying the nearshore section.
The Breagh ‘A’ field is located in UKCS Block 42/13 of the southern North Sea in 62m water depth, approximately 100km to the east of Teesside.
Gas will be exported via the 20-inch pipeline from the platform to the Teesside Gas Processing Plant.
The contract for the construction of the 10km long onshore section of pipeline is expected to be awarded before the end of 2010.
RWE Dea UK holds a 70% interest in the Breagh gas field and is its operator, while Sterling Resources holds the remaining interest.
