Laggan/Tormore opens gas coppidor in frontier North Atlantic region

摘要

The Laggan and Tormore gas condensate development is one of the UK oil and gas industry's largest upstream construction projects with an estimated spend of some £2.5 billion ($3.96 billion). The project, situated in 600 m (1,968 ft) water depth west of the Shetland Islands, represents a strategic investment by operator TOTAL E&P UK (TEP UK) and its partner DONG E&P (UK) in deepwater gas production, with an onshore processing hub on Shetland. With co-venturers Chevron North Sea, Statoil UK and OMV (UK) the partnership has also invested in a new large-diameter gas transportation system (SIRGE) that opens up the west of Shetland to drilling and production for years to come.
