McDermott International, the US energy and LNG engineering company, has successfully completed the sail away of the Tyra East gas processing module for the Tyra Redevelopment Project, a crucial part of Denmark's natural gas production hub.
Shareholders in the Tyra Redevelopment are French major TotalEnergies and its Danish Underground Consortium partners Noreco and Nordsøfonden.
Location
The Tyra Redevelopment facilities will be located about 139 miles (225 kilometres) west of Denmark in the North Sea.
The project represents the largest ever oil and gas investment for Denmark in the North Sea.
McDermott said that once the redeveloped Tyra project is back on stream, it is expected to deliver 2.8 billion cubic metres of gas per annum, which amounts to 80 percent of forecast Danish gas production.
“Tyra will secure continued production of natural gas with 30 percent less CO2 emissions, significantly contributing to Denmark's energy security by reducing Denmark and the EU's dependency on Russian gas,” said Houston, Texas-based McDermott.
The module weighs around 18,700 tons and set sail on September 1 from McDermott's fabrication facility in Batam in Indonesia.
“The TEG module will be a crucial part of Tyra II, the new high-tech hub for Denmark's natural gas production and will reduce CO2 emissions by 30 percent,” said McDermott.
McDermott said the sail away was the culmination of more than 18.8 million work hours spent on engineering and construction of the process module.
“This is an incredible milestone on a large-scale and complex project. As an engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning contractor for the Tyra Redevelopment, we leveraged synergies throughout the lifecycle of the project while maintaining a high focus on safety,” said Tareq Kawash, Senior Vice President for Onshore at McDermott.
“We are proud that our work contributes to TotalEnergies' vision and pursuit of sustainable North Sea operations,” added Kawash.
Eric Delattre, Managing Director for TotalEnergies Exploration & Production for Denmark, said the sail away of the process module was of key importance for the Tyra Project as it marked the conclusion of onshore construction, and with this all the remaining work on Tyra will take place in the Danish North Sea.
