Fossil Energy – Marram Field
Mermaid Subsea Services signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EnergyPathways and MCS Group, to advance the development of the Marram field.
Under the terms of the MoU signed on February 9, 2024, Mermaid and MCS Group have agreed to jointly undertake FEED, project support, procurement and offshore construction services to EnergyPathways, the owner and operator of the East Irish Sea project.
As part of the work scope, EnergyPathways has already contracted with MCS and Mermaid in respect of initial work orders, the results of which will allow the company to define the scope of the final contract in due course.
Marram represents the first UKCS development on which MCS and Mermaid will collaborate from FEED to commissioning and deploy proven technology that can reduce development costs and delivery cycles.
The Marram development plan will also facilitate the use of diverless connection systems for shallow water, thus reducing the risks associated with the use of divers for the pipeline tie-in operations.
EnergyPathways is the operator of Marram, which is a short cycle low emission gas field, and is progressing the project towards Final Investment Decision. The project concept envisages a simple low-cost two-well subsea tieback development with first production targeted for 2025.
