The Clough Aker Joint Venture (CAJV) was awarded a transport and installation contract for the topside platform required on the Angel Gas Field Development, off Karratha on the North West Shelf, Western Australia. The Angel Field is located in 80 metres of water, approximately 49 kilometres east of the venture’s North Rankin A and Goodwyn A platforms.
The engineering, construction and installation project entailed transportation and installation of the Angel topside module, weighing about 7,500 tonnes. The CAJV chartered the HLV Black Marlin from Dockwise to carry out the transport and installation of the topside module. The workscope included additional hook-up work for the module to the pre-installed jacket. To be installed by others, the client’s facilities incorporate a 6,500 tonne launched steel jacket with grouted piles and a 5,200 tonne integrated deck tied to three subsea wells.
The installation of the Topside module took place on 1 April 2008.
