YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, Russia – Sakhalin Energy has begun its annual preventive maintenance campaign at PA-B, the largest oil and gas production platform of the Sakhalin-2 project.
The campaign is expected to be completed before the end of the month.
At the platform, the company intends to perform an annual purging of the hydrocarbon multiphase flow separation vessels, a repair of the produced water filters, maintenance of two gas compressors, including a gearbox inspection at one of them, and other tasks.
About 250 people will take part in the major turnaround activities.
The PA-B platform is located about 12 km (7.5 mi) offshore northeastern Sakhalin, in a water depth of 32 m (105 ft).
Since late 2008, the platform has been producing oil and associated gas from the Piltun area of the Piltun-Astokhskoye field. The produced hydrocarbons are transported via the TransSakhalin pipeline system to the LNG plant and the oil export terminal at Prigorodnoye production complex.
