Bruce Platform (BP, UK)
ICS installed Spectrex SafEye Gas Detection Systems on Bruce 2 platform.
ETAP (Eastern Trough Area Project)
MSA supplied 10 SafEye Open Path Gas Detection Systems as part of temporary Fire & Gas system to protect the plant during construction phase of onshore gas processing facilities at St. Fergus as it is close to existing site. In addition, 17 SharpEye Triple IR (IR3) Optical Flame Detectors have been commissioned for the permanent installation. Goldeneye platform production will be approximately 300 mmscf/d wet-gas some 10,000 barrels/day condensate. Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) will be extracted from the gas and condensate streams throughout field life. Gas will be delivered to the National Transmission System at Transco in St. Fergus while NGLs and condensate will go to the Fife Natural Gas Liquids Plant in Mossmorran through an existing pipeline. After further processing various products, including condensate, Propane and Butane will be produced. The field is expected to be in production from 2004 for between 7 and 10 years.
Mobil's 60bcf Malory offshore platform development, 15 km southwest of Shell's Barque Field, is a Rotliegendes structure, which tested 31 MMcf/d when discovered in January 1997. Mobil has ordered an AMOSS minimum facilities-type platform from Odebrecht-SLP featuring spare well slots for future tie-ins. Gas is piped through a new 8 km line into Mobil's LAPS Transportation System to the Bacton terminal. Both the Malory platform and the Laps transportation system
are protected by SafEye systems. OSEBERG, Norway -- Two Norwegian Offshore Platforms
All oil from Oseberg is piped through the Oseberg Transport System (OTS) to the Sture terminal near Bergen. Oil from Oseberg C is piped to the field center for onward transport through the OTS. Aker Engineering (Maritime), Norway and Syberg & Syberg, Oslo (Fire and Gas contractor) installed the following SafEye Gas Detectors: Oseberg North: 19 SafEye Detectors, IR Flash Model Series 200 Oseberg South: 42 SafEye Detectors, IR Flash Model Series 200 5 SafEye Detectors, IR Lamp Model 301.
Amerada Hess' North Sea field, South Arne (SA), is being developed with horizontal wells and multiple hydraulic propped fractures. The South Arne field is located in the northern part of the Danish sector of the North Sea. The offshore platform is protected by 28 SafEye Systems.
Thistle Platform -- North-east of the Shetland Islands
Vigdis Platform is located in the oil field between Snorre and Gulfaks fields in the North Sea. Its installations are tied back to the Snorre platform where the petroleum is processed. The crude oil is transferred via dedicated pipelines to Gullfaks A for storage and loading into tankers. Autronica Offshore installed Spectrex SharpEye flame detectors and SafEye Open Path Gas Detectors to protect the platform production areas.

BP
Amoco, Elf, Total, BHP and VEBA are operating the Bruce field complex that
consists of three platforms and one sub sea manifold. The PUQ platform (process/utilities/quarters) and D (drilling) platform are linked by a
47-meter bridge. Oil and gas from the Bruce Reservoir are recovered by 15
platform wells and 5 sub sea wells. A second development phase, Bruce 2,
started in 1995 with the award of an alliance-style contract for front-end
engineering design (FEED) to develop the Western Area of the field.
Hydrocarbon liquids and gas from the reservoir are produced through two
processing trains. In each train, liquids pass through two separation stages
at decreasing pressures to the main oil line booster pumps. The hydrocarbon
liquids from the two trains are then combined, metered and exported via the
Forties Pipeline System. Gas separated from the liquids is cooled,
compressed, and dried before being exported via the Frigg pipeline to St
Fergus. Some of the processed gas is used to power the platform.
The
ETAP (Eastern Trough Area Project), North Sea (Britain), is one of the
world's most modern,
and the largest offshore oil production platform areas. It was built by AMEC for British Petroleum
Exploration with Esso, BHP, AGIP, and Shell as partners that combined their efforts
in order to explore this field. This
project is protected by 135 SharpEye Triple IR (IR3) Flame Detectors and 110
SafEye Open
Path Gas Detection Systems (including approximately 20 systems to protect
air intakes to
turbines and air ducts).
Shell UK has awarded Foster Wheeler a 60 million Sterling
Pounds contract to build the onshore gas processing facilities at St Fergus
for Shell's Goldeneye development. The Goldeneye offshore platform will be located in the Shell operated UKCS Block 14/29a, 105 km from
North-East
Scotland in the South Halibut basin area of the Outer Moray Firth.
OSEBERG offshore platform is owned by Norske-Hydro,
Mobil, Statoil, Saga and Conoco. Located about 130 kilometers northwest of Bergen, Oseberg has been
developed with a total of three platforms. Oseberg A and B stand at the southern end of
the field and are linked by a 100-meter bridge. They form the Oseberg field center. The C
platform lies 14 kilometers to the north.
