The development for the L09 Area development consisted of two platforms L09-FA and L09-FB, evacuating well fluids via one pipeline to the existing host facility L09-FF.
The L09-FA and FB fields were developed from a single drill centre each via a 6 and 4 (respectively) well slot Trident Monotower installation. The Trident Monotower platforms are minimum facility, normally unattended marine access platforms with no gas processing facilities. Electrical power is provided by means of a hybrid renewables package, comprising solar PV panels, wind turbines and batteries.
Total wellstream fluids from the L09-FA are exported via a 16” 350 barg 19km pipeline to L09-FF. L09-FB fluids tie into this pipeline approximately half way along its length via a piggable Y-piece. At L09-FF the fluids will be processed and then exported via the NOGAT pipeline to the Den Helder Gas Plant.
Flow assurance will be provided by the injection of a mixture of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) and pH stabilisation chemicals, supplied from L09-FF via a piggyback pipeline. An additional piggyback pipeline shall provide wash water to the L09-FA and FB monotowers.
