DRILLING

> Four well development – two production wells /

two water injection wells

> Subsea Trees / wells will be remotely controlled

from onshore via the Production platform

> Complex well trajectories with 5000ft – 6000ft horizontal sections through the
Solan reservoir sand

> The weak reservoir formation sands require wire wrap screens to provide sand control

> Dual electrical submersible pumps will be installed to boost production rates
to circa 15,000bfpd / well

SUBSEA

> Minimalised subsea architecture with ~
4.5km of flow lines and pipeline with
1.8km of umbilical
> Production and water injection wells tied
into individual risers
> Combination of Vetco and FMC trees
using an integrated Vetco control system
> Two production wells supplied by
individual umbilicals with two WI wells
daisy chained via control jumpers
> Oil to DP tanker via offloading system
> Tank displacement and oil export via 24”
carbon steel concrete weight coated
s-lay pipeline
> Oil to tank and ballast return via 10”
and 12” flexible pipelines
> Subsea infrastructure protected by
concrete link block mattresses
