CIMC Raffles awarded BP contract

CIMC Raffles confirmed it has been awarded work on the Tortue-Ahmeyim floating liquefied natural gas project off Mauritania and Senegal.

CIMC has been awarded the FEED contract for the development’s jack-up accommodation and utilities platform which will be based on the Agosto 12 design

The platform will be installed in a water depth of roughly 30 metres and be designed to accommodate more than 200 personnel, while also providing utilities for the hub.

The platform will be installed close to the phase one FLNG vessel that is set to be supplied by Norway’s Golar LNG.

Tortue phase one comprises four subsea wells in 2850 metres of water tied back to a floating production, storage and offloading vessel about 80 kilometres away.

The spread-moored FPSO will be installed in 100 to 200 metres of water and is expected to be a VLCC-sized vessel with a 13,000-tonne deck.

The vessel is expected to handle more than 500 million cubic feet per day of gas and about 20,000 barrels per day of liquids.

Once the well stream has been separated on the FPSO, gas will be piped some 30 kilometres to the FLNG vessel, which has a capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per annum.
