Perdido Spar: Take a Pre-Construction Tour

Perdido spar: Take a pre-construction tour the Perdido spar is more to mile-and-a-half about the Alaminos Canyon seabed in the Gulf of Mexico it is challenged by rugged seafloor terrain highly faulted low pressure reservoirs it will be the deepest bar in the world 7,000 817 peed

2300 eighty two meters with production from the deepest subsea well in the world

Tobago 9600 27 feed

2,934 meters as we move beneath the earth's surface below we see the well pass in red at the Southwest cluster site in addition to these locations there are two more remote sites six to nine miles away

Silvertip and Tobago the flowline sleds shown with a green or blue line connect the Southwest cluster Silvertip and Tobago sites to amenable the manifolds then tie into the subsea boosting system and case on risers that will carry the hydrocarbons up to this bar this is the top at the subsea boosting system we're flying by the soft tank now the bottom obverse of tank is five hundred feet below the surface of the water this is the area where the ballast is loaded it provides the low center of gravity necessary to keep the spar upright this is the west side of the platform where you can see the turbine generators and waste heat recovery units as well as to the 86 man life craft let's rotate around to the south side in the lower right is one of the major safety advances that is incorporated in the platform the 24-man fast recovery craft this size was chosen to be able to pick up the entire complement other est 92 helicopter which will be used to crew change the platform as we come to the right we're at the east side of the platform the crimped metal building is the workshop and just to the right up there is another important safety feature other perdido platform this is the ejup the blast wall this feature combined with blast resistant corners protects all the production buildings quarters and temporary refuge here is in end view the two booster gas compressors they are necessary to take the very low pressure gas and get it to export pipeline pressure necessary to make the long distance tieback to existing pipeline infrastructure this is the spar Dec fifty feet of %uh the water the man is 6 feet tall and holding a 2-meter stick we are now flying down the center well the hard tank the six blue risers in the center include the drilling riser and by production risers we are back up to the helicopter fly around this is what the pilots will see on approach to the platform where they will be welcomed by the largest hell attack in the Gulf of

Mexico this specially designed aluminum deck is large enough for two est 92 helicopters the Perdido platform is the first commercial production from the Paleogene it will be the deeper spar in the world with production from the deepest subsea well in the world
