Indonesian construction company H&H Utama installed an offshore production platform at Unocal Corp.'s Yakin oil and gas field, 8 km off Balikpapan in East Kalimantan, said consulting company Sinclair Knight Merz Pty. Ltd, according to Oil and Gas Journal.
H&H used a float-over and ballast down technique proposed by Merz to install CPP2 platform, which is connected by a 20-m bridge to the existing CPP1 platform.
CPP2 will separate 10,000 barrels per day of wellstream oil and water and 10 million cubic feet of associated natural gas.
Sinclair Knight Merz carried out the process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and structural design of the platform's double deck topsides. It also engineered the loadout, seafastening, and installation of the topside during transportation to the site.
Unocal Indonesia, under production sharing contracts with state-owned Pertamina, operates several fields off East Kalimantan.(*)
