De Ruyter Development Contracts Awarded by Petro-Canada
Heerema was awarded a combined contract for fabrication, installation and hook-up of the 4300 tonne integrated production deck and the 12500 tonne dry weight gravity based structure. The IPD will be built in Zwijndrecht in The Netherlands. The construction of a 29 kilometre gas export pipeline and 1.5 km oil loading pipeline to a tanker mooring and loading system were awarded to Allseas. The De Ruyter field straddles blocks P10 and P11b, which are both operated by Petro-Canada. It is located approximately 60 kms northwest of The Hague, in water depth of around 35 metres. Petro-Canada and Energie Beheer Nederland, the state participant, are partners in the field. The cost of the development is in the order of Euros300 million. The chosen development option is a GBS platform installation with storage capacity of 150 000 barrels. The De Ruyter development will initially consist of three production wells. Oil export will be via offshore loading to a shuttle tanker, and gas export is via third-party facilities to shore.
