Posted on: Saturday, 30 July 2005, 03:01 CDT
Saipem UK Ltd. has awarded WEUS Inc., (a Moscow-established company located in southern Sakhalin that is wholly owned by Weatherford). a contract for pipeline pre-commissioning services for the Sakhalin II project on Sakhalin Island, Russia. Worth more than 3.5 million euros, the work started in 2004 and is scheduled for completion in 2006.
The work scope, being carried out by Weatherford's Pipeline & Specialty Services (P&SS) group, includes project management, initial and final flooding, cleaning, gauging, hydrostatic testing, integrity leak testing, dewatering, drying and dry air packing of a variety of oil, gas, multiphase and MEG pipelines at Piltun, Lunskoya and Aniva Bay locations. Caliper geometric inspection of the pipelines will also be provided. The operations team will include some of the Russian technicians first trained and employed by Weatherford for the Bluestream project.
The Sakhalin II project is a development of offshore oil and gas fields on the northeastern shelf of Sakhalin Island. Two production fields are associated with the project. PiltunAstokhshoye (PA) is an oil field with associated gas and Lunskoye (LUN) is a gas field with associated condensate.
The Phase 1 development, comprising the PA-A platform and oil export facilities, was installed in 1998, and production commenced in 1999. In the Phase 2 development, the PA-B and the LUN-A platforms will be installed together with infrastructure and facilities for export of oil and gas.
Crude oil and stabilized condensate will be pumped together through a single onshore pipeline from the onshore processing facilities to a new oil export terminal at Prigorodnoye. Gas from the OPF will be transported through a single onshore pipeline to a new LNG plant, near a new oil export terminal at Prigorodnoye. Stabilized oil will be transported through an offshore pipeline from the terminal to a tanker-loading unit located offshore from Prigorodnoye.
