... Abstract The ability to efficiently install subsea modules in increasing water depths is a major condition for the cost-effective development of deep-water oil and gas reserves. The weight of a steel hoisting wire exponentially increases with the working depth and is a significant cost driver...

... Abstract Total E&P UK Ltd and partners DONG E&P (UK) Ltd are developing the Laggan & Tormore gas fields which are located in approximately 600 metres water depth in Blocks 206/1a, (P911) and 205/5a (P1159) respectively situated approximately 125km north west of the Shetland Islands...

The SDV and structure will be towed in shallow draught surface tow mode until reaching a suitable location for flooding the hulls. Ballasting and Trimming At an inshore...

... ABSTRACT The Laggan and Tormore gas condensate fields are situated in 600m water depth some 140km north-west of the Shetland Islands. The region is served by limited oil and gas infrastructure and so called "stranded gas" fields have been left undeveloped to date; primarily due...

... Abstract Offshore well testing operations in the North Sea have, for many years, been confined to the shallow areas of UK and Norwegian continental shelf with water depths ranging from 100 to 1,000ft. Rig selection of these operations has been primarily moored vessels. New discoveries...
