KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – InterMoor has transported and installed a new electric submersible pump (ESP) system for a wellhead platform project offshore Sarawak, Malaysia.
The workscope, commissioned by MISC Offshore Floating Terminals Dua (MOFT2), included managing engineering and offshore operations for the heavy lift of the ESP power generation module onto the MaMPU-1 FPSO; and installation of a 1.26-km (0.79-mi) dynamic subsea power cable between the FPSO and the Tarpon platform.
InterMoor provided an integrated service that drew on the capabilities of its parent Acteon group, including provision of flexible cable lay equipment.
This covered the subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines integrity, repair and maintenance, helping MOFT2 to complete the project ahead of schedule.
Simon Gatcliffe, vice president, InterMoor Asia Pacific, said, “As is increasingly common in the industry, the project had a tight timeline between award and installation, and the work took place in a congested subsea environment. Offshore operations had to take place during the high-risk monsoon season in Malaysia.
“We addressed these issues by incorporating additional safety factors into our engineering work, adding alternative routes and scenarios to the offshore procedures, and using our long-standing experience with floating assets to ensure careful planning and increased coordination.”
In addition, InterMoor chartered a construction support vessel for the installation and an anchor-handling tug and barge for transporting the module and structures.
