OSLO,
Norway, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Norwegian Energy Company ASA ("Noreco" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce the successful sail away of the new
Tyra II process module (the "TEG"), 10.15am local time, from Batam, Indonesia.
The process module was fabricated at the McDermott yard in Batam
by McDermott and TotalEnergies, and heavy transport vessel GPO
Emerald will safely sail the 17,000 metric tons unit to the Tyra
field in the Danish North Sea, a voyage of 8,700 miles taking
approximately one month. Upon arrival at the Tyra field, the
process module will be lifted and installed by the world's largest
crane vessel, Sleipnir.
The sail away is an important milestone for the entire project
as it marks the conclusion of yard fabrication and allows remaining
focus to be on further optimising the offshore hook-up and
commissioning work towards first gas from Tyra II. At peak, the TEG
will be able to process 300 million standard cubic feet gas per day
which will be coming from both Tyra and five unmanned satellite
fields. Redeveloped Tyra will be a critical contributor in
safeguarding access to natural gas for both Denmark and the European Union for decades to
come.
"I am delighted that the Tyra Redevelopment Project has met
this significant milestone. We have recently made good progress and
the process module is leaving the yard with CE approval,
Mechanically Complete, and with all Leak Testing successfully
concluded. We are now entering the final stage of the project where
the main focus will be on the offshore hook-up and commissioning
work prior to the delivery of first gas," said
Marianne Eide, Chief Operating
Officer in Noreco.
