Background
The Western Isles Development Project was a critical endeavor for Dana Petroleum, aimed at extracting oil from two fields, Harris and Barra, in the Northern North Sea having a budget of $2 billion.
The Challenge
The Western Isles Development Project demanded not only the expertise of a seasoned Materials and Corrosion Discipline Authority but also the correct selection of materials of construction to ensure the success of the project. With a budget of $2 billion, the project also required prompt support on any materials and corrosion challenges or queries that may arise during the project's lifecycle.
How OGC Energy Helped Dana Petroleum
As a leading provider of technical expertise, OGC Energy was proud to support Dana Petroleum in their $2 billion Western Isles Development Project. Our materials and corrosion expert, Ivan, was a key member of the project team, working closely with Dana Petroleum since 2012. In March 2015, Ivan was officially appointed as the Materials and Corrosion Discipline Authority, providing critical support in areas including FPSO EPC interface, SURF, and marine installation, and Safety Case support.
OGC Energy rose to the challenge, offering its technical proficiency to support Dana Petroleum throughout the project. The FPSO vessel, which served as the cornerstone of the project, was designed using cutting-edge Sevan Marine technology and built in China by the renowned China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO). Meanwhile, the subsea infrastructure was handled by industry leader, Subsea 7. With OGC Energy's support, Dana Petroleum was able to bring the Western Isles Development Project to fruition, extracting oil from the Harris and Barra fields with a state-of-the-art FPSO vessel and subsea infrastructure. Our expertise and commitment to success allowed Dana Petroleum to reach first oil without any setbacks or delays.
