Saudi Aramco celebrated record-breaking heavy lift operation for the Arabiyah-Hasbah offshore gas fields project on Monday.
An installation of the Hasbah tie-in platform (TP) was completed by the heavy lift barge Lan Jing using a 7,500-tonne crane, carrying 5,000 tonnes of weight– a milestone achievement for Aramco’s heavy lift operations.
The new TP was installed as part of the ongoing work to complete the Arabiyah-Hasbah Offshore Gas Fields Project, which will produce 2.5bn standard cubic feet of natural gas per day through the Wasit Gas Plant when completed.
An intermediate injection platform was also installed, said Aramco, adding that the construction of the 4,600- tonne Arabiyah field tie-in platform and the 1,800- tonne intermediate injection platform was now completed.
Nasir K. Al-Naimi, vice president of Northern Area Oil Operations, and Fahad E. Al-Helal, vice president of Project Management said the Arabiyah-Hasbah Offshore Gas Fields Project is progressing as planned.
The Arabiyah and Hasbah fields, located some 150km northeast of Jubail industrial city, are being developed as part of Saudi Aramco’s Al Wasit Gas Programme.
