Firm completes installation for Bapco and Schlumberger

UK-based offshore contractor 2H Offshore has completed the installation of a retrofit conductor supported platform (CSP) offshore Bahrain for state oil firm Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) and US-based Schlumberger.

The installation of the CSP has enabled a successful appraisal well to be transitioned to production at a depth of 26 metres from offshore Bahrain.

The installation was completed within six months of project award, 2H Offshore, a subsidiary of the UK-based subsea services company Acteon Group, said in its statement.

On behalf of Bapco and Schlumberger, 2H Offshore designed a tripod CSP with boat landing that can support three surface trees with a total work area of just 90sqm, it stated.

In addition to the design and engineering, 2H Offshore managed fabrication and supervised offshore installation on-site in Bahrain.

2H subcontracted local firm Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard (Asry), France’s Bureau Veritas as well as sister companies Claxton Engineering and Seatronics for the project.
