Steve - thx, helps me understand the timescales much better.
Laser, what's a "partial tow"?

[laserdisc] 04/7/2018 08:41

like a military operation with all these vessels around

"I am convinced that BP plans to take out Hurricane once they have established that the concept works."

Me too HD, BP or shell I reckon.

From Dr T's recent Malcy interview: "We tried to farm_out Lancaster on its own all the interested parties said no we're interested in everything".......

chopsy.. ..473.

As far as I am aware, the risers are usually pulled through the buoy and connected to the stationary part of the turret/swivel stack, which is obviously located on the FPSO. They should be able to run the flowlines from the well-heads to a termination point close to the FPSO though, just leaving the final section (risers & mid-water arches etc,) until the FPSO arrives. That said, with good weather pulling the risers (just 2 I believe) and the umbilical (for ESP power, control, and chemicals) is not a particularly onerous task.

IIRC PMO's Catcher hooked-up a much more complex & numerous system, and managed to achieve first oil in around 2-3 months from arrival in the field
.
Subject to AM leaving Dubai in the next 6 weeks or so, FO could still be achieved in '18, although unlikely IMO.

Pacific Duchess also sailing for Lancaster - quite a gathering..!

Presumably this is what you are referring to hiddendepths:



Edit - sorry, a bit slow this morning .....penalty shootout lag I think....I see this has already been referenced in post 30472!

[chopsy] 04/7/2018 07:40

Wow so the buoy is on its way, then, if I read you right, Steel. How long will it take to get there? Arrive today? Raise high those anchor chains! Once the buoy is attached, the rest of the SURF can be finished and brought up to the buoy. We need to know about the well re-completions, the christmas trees and all the umbilicals etc.

Will it really take six more months to finish the hook up job and get the FPSO operational? I must say I doubt it.

Union Bear and Union Lynx departing Lerwick with Lynx at what looks like the slow towing speed you might expect if towing an ungainly object...

He Kane do it.

[laserdisc] 03/7/2018 17:59

steel I have posted on lse Joshua 767 took pictures of the buoy last week end may get a response

[hiddendepths] 03/7/2018 17:39

In the context of low volume for HUR and the market overall, 276k in the closing auction at 47.12 is a sign of underlying strength imo. Whether we have to wait for September when people return from hols before the rerate I have no idea!

[steelwatch] 03/7/2018 17:33

Union Lynx is berthed in the same spot as Jumbo Kinetic was if anyone local can take a stroll up that way?

[prefab] 03/7/2018 17:22

Malcys been hitting the weed by the sound of things @ 18m30s. 25% of HUR at a 7% premium to the current SP, goodluck with that. If a major showed a sniff of interest in HUR right now the share price would double.

[laserdisc] 03/7/2018 14:39

lol, HUR will be taking up West of Shetlands waters with all these vessels shows what a massive operation this is in the planning , it will be executed I have every faith in success ,Excellent post steelwatch I have updated post 30442 with the list for present shipwatchers
