First All-electric Subsea System Launched

摘要

First gas has been achieved from the CameronDC all-electric subsea production system, which was installed as part of the K5F project developed by Total E&P Nederland B.V. (TEPNL) in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. The start-up of the K5 field marks the world's first utilization of an all-electric subsea production system.rnThe project includes a three-well combined template-manifold installed in 131 feet of water controlled from an existing platform 11 miles away. Production is piped back to an unmanned platform six miles away. The initial installation encompasses two template-manifold-mounted trees with the option for two additional trees in the future, one of which would be a satellite tree.
