Juniper platform sets sail for offshore Trinidad
BP Trinidad and Tobago’s (bpTT) new Juniper offshore platform began its journey on 20 January 2016 towards the south-east coast of Trinidad where it will be installed 50 miles offshore in 360 feet of water as the company’s 14th offshore installation and its first subsea field development. The $2bn investment represents one of BP’s largest start-up projects in 2017.
Juniper will have a production capacity of approximately 590mn cf/d, taking gas from the Corallita and Lantana fields, which will flow through the Mahogany B offshore hub.
The Juniper topsides were fabricated at the TOFCO fabrication yard in La Brea, Trinidad and measure 145 feet tall to the top of the helideck and weigh about 5,100 short tons. The jacket and piles, fabricated at Gulf Marine Fabricators in Aransas Pass, Texas, US, sailed to Trinidad in December 2016. The jacket measures 389 feet tall and weighs roughly 5,200 short tons. The platform installation is being handled by the Thialf, the largest deepwater construction vessel operated by Heerema Marine Contractors.
