FG International Holland, the Dutch special lifting company, in close cooperation with local partner CR Asia, has replaced the riser hose that forms the centre piece of the Arthit/Bongkot development.
After meticulous planning triple redundancy was applied to make sure the replacement would be performed with only minor interruption of the fields’ production.
FG first installed a special lifting construction under the external turret of the FSO Pathamabaha. With the new hose then pre-installed close to its final location, the actual disconnecting and reconnecting was performed within 20 minutes.
PTTEP Thailand awarded the contract.
