The offshore uploading of the steel jacket and the wellhead
platform, which lies in approximately 35 metres of water in
the Taranaki Basin was completed successfully in July 2006.
The SAL vessel was moored 4 metres from the legs of the
ENSCO 56 JUR in an exercise that has previously only ever
been carried out via barge. Model simulations and motion
analysis to predict mooring line tensions were conducted by
the Classification Society GL in Germany and the MARIN
Maritime Research Institute in Netherlands to ensure the
viability of the procedure.
The installation
of the jacket and
platform was a
complex process
that required a
complete transport
analysis and offshore
operation procedures.
