UK contractor Petrofac has won the front-end end engineering and design (FEED) work for the platforms and subsea components of Hartshead Resources’ proposed Somerville and Anning fields development in the UK southern gas basin.
Petrofac will perform the FEED for the topsides and jackets for the two minimum facility unmanned platforms to be deployed for the first development phase of the Somerville and Anning offshore fields.
The contractor will also be tasked with detailing the design of the 40-kilometre pipeline to Shell’s Corvette platform and Corvette export system with onward gas transport to the Leman-Alpha complex, associated risers and tie-in to the Anning platform.
Meanwhile, Australia-listed independent Hartshead has appointed TelosNRG to advise on the Somerville-Anning phase I field development plan.
In tandem, Hartshead is lining up vessels for planned seabed and environmental geophysical and geotechnical surveys for the project.
The award of the FEED contracts is expected to occur later in 2023.
