PT. LISAS, Trinidad and Tobago – DeNovo Energy Ltd., part of the Proman family of companies, announced delivery of first gas from its Zandolie Field on July 12. The unmanned minimum facility is DeNovo’s second offshore field development to be completed in Block 1 (a) on the West Coast of Trinidad.
With an investment of $52 million, Zandolie was completed within 31 months amid the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, with about 371 persons employed at peak of construction, there has been zero loss time incidents (LTIs) from 476,613 manhours. Of the total manhours spent delivering the project, 66% were local content manhours. Overall, the Zandolie project was delivered with 56.4% local content spend.
Zandolie is a single-well, conductor-supported platform with a nameplate capacity of 40 MMscf/d. The field development builds off the existing Iguana Infrastructure enabling a more compact topside structure that is lighter and more efficient. The space saving achieved also minimizes the use of steel in the design allowing for a modular design and greater use of local fabrication services.
The integration of renewable resources makes Zandolie the first design of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago. Powered by wind and solar, the 100% renewably powered platform was also fully fabricated in country. The facility also has been designed to prevent methane slip in the transportation of gas during the extraction process and in its movement to DeNovo’s onshore gas processing facility within the Point Lisas Industrial Estate.
Construction of the platform was completed at the United Engineering Services Ltd. local fabrication yard, and the Zandolie Drilling campaign was also safely conducted by the local Well Services Rig 110.
