Fossil Energy – NO5-A
HSM Offshore Energy announced the successful load out and sail away of the NO5-A topside and jacket for ONE-Dyas at its Schiedam yard in the Netherlands.
The topside and jacket were positioned onto the H-406 barge, owned by Heerema Marine Contractors, utilizing Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs).
The topside and jacket will be transported to their designated site in the North Sea, where installation will take place. ONE-Dyas anticipates commencing gas production by December 2024.
The N05-A project involves the creation of an offshore platform comprising a topside and a six-legged non-battered jacket. The topside dimensions are 61.5 x 34 x 15 meters, with a weight of 3200 tonnes, while the jacket measures 40 x 20 x 50 meters and weighs 2800 tonnes.
Upon completion, the N05-A Platform will be the first electrified gas production platform in the North Sea, powered entirely by offshore renewable energy from the nearby Riffgat Offshore Wind Farm. This pioneering project showcases HSM Offshore Energy’s commitment to advancing local Dutch gas production and solidifying its leadership in the offshore energy transition.
Designed as a permanent manned installation, the N05-A platform will operate as a Not Normally Manned Installation (NNMI), making it an Autonomous Production Location (APL).
The export route will utilize a pipeline connected to the existing Noordgastransport (NGT) pipeline network, facilitating delivery to customers in the Netherlands and Germany.
With cutting-edge technology and innovative design, the NO5-A topside signifies a new era for HSM Offshore Energy, reinforcing its role in accelerating the offshore energy transition.
