“Laggan Tormore – A Deep Water Challenge”

Clear Well Subsea has been awarded two support contracts for the prestigious Laggan Tormore project.

Total E&P UK are currently developing the Laggan and Tormore fields which are located 125km West of the Shetland isles in approximately 600m of water. The commingled, multiphase fluid stream from the fields will be transported to a dedicated Shetland terminal via two 18” production pipelines; processed gas from the terminal will be exported via a 30” pipeline 230km south to tie-in points on the existing Frigg UK (FUKA) pipeline system.

The contracts, in two key areas, are critical to the overall delivery of the project.

“The award of these key contracts builds on our track record of successful package management for our clients and enables Clear Well to consolidate its project teams.

The Hot Tap Tee review and management contract demonstrates our ability to deliver design innovation to a project even after FEED has been complete, whilst the appointment of one of our Senior Consultants to head up the Allseas pipeline installation contract is a big vote of confidence from our client – Total E&P UK” said Keith Evans MD.

Note To Editor:

Located approximately 125km north-west of the Shetland Islands, the Laggan and Tormore fields represent the future of the UK oil and gas industry. Both fields lie in an area known generically as West of Shetland – a region geographically closer to the North Atlantic than the North Sea – located on the edge of the UK continental shelf. Here, water depths descend rapidly from an average of 120m to 600m and beyond. It’s a uniquely challenging environment in which to operate, but also one with great potential. If the subsea tie-back to Sullom Voe were to be extended vertically from the surface of the earth, at 125km it would reach into the upper region of the earths atmosphere; the Ionosphere.
