McDermott Delivers Flare, Bridges For TotalEnergies Tyra Redevelopment

Offshore construction and engineering company McDermott has completed the delivery of two bridges and a flare for TotalEnergies' Tyra redevelopment project off Denmark.

McDermott said that the Tyra Redevelopment work package was executed from McDermott's fabrication yard in Batam, Indonesia, and includes the Tyra East G (TEG) natural gas processing topside, two 328-foot bridges, and a 449-foot flare.

The company added that, with the close-out of onshore commissioning on the two bridges and flare complete, McDermott will be proceeding with the construction close-out on the TEG module in preparation for the onshore commissioning and sail away in 2022.

McDermott was awarded a contract for the Tyra work in December 2017 and construction started in October 2018. This was one of the largest combined projects for McDermott in the North Sea.

"The completion of McDermott's first delivery sail away for the Tyra Redevelopment project is a major achievement," Tareq Kawash, SVP for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, said.

"The first sail away of new facilities from our Batam yard was an important step towards rebuilding the Tyra field to support TotalEnergies' vision and pursuit of sustainable operations," Morten Hesselager Pedersen, VP and head of the Tyra Redevelopment at TotalEnergies Denmark, added.

As for the field itself, Tyra is the largest gas condensate field in the Danish sector of the North Sea. Due to seabed subsidence, the Tyra field required redevelopment, and the project was sanctioned in 2017.

The Tyra Redevelopment consists of the removal and decommissioning of the prior Tyra platforms, reuse, and extension of the existing jackets at six platforms that will have new topsides and a new process platform, and a new accommodation platform.

Once online, the redeveloped Tyra will produce gas to power 1.5 million homes in Denmark, with production at peak expected at 60 thousand boepd. This means that Tyra will produce a total of 200 million barrels over the next 25 years.

It is worth reminding, that Sembcorp Marine completed the fabrication of two wellhead topsides, one riser topside, and two bridges for the project in July while Heerema installed the facilities the following month.
