PROJECT: GLEN LYON – FPSO TURRET HOOK UP TESTING AND PREPARATIONS

CLIENT: BP/AIBEL

Built to process and store oil and gas from the redeveloped Schiehallion and Loyal fields in the UK North Sea, the FPSO Glen Lyon has a highly advanced turret system.

Otech Marine Services was contracted to develop procedures and task plans for the hook-up testing preparations including the works of removing all sea-fastening, necessary tests on the chain connectors, riser and turret system.

The extensive BP pre-qualification process and a more than six months planning and engineering phase ensured a dynamic and well executed project.
