For the tie-in of well B29 to the Balmoral Template, Well A27 and Beauly Risers had to be removed to facilitate the replacement of the production header. To avoid a lengthy shut-down of A27 and Beauly, Andrew Palmer & Associates devised temporary re-routings of A27 and Beauly production via alternative risers. Drawings of available options were prepared and the results of a study led to selection of the best method. Replacement spools for two headers (PAL-1 and PAL-2) on the Balmoral template were also designed.
Use was made of the 3D CAD model owned, developed and updated by Andrew Palmer & Associates over a period of several years.
Andrew Palmer & Associates then provided project management, procurement and fabrication supervision for the production of the above spools and associated valves.
