Technip has installed the Heera Redevelopment (HRD) process platform for Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd. (ONGC) using its Unideck system, the company said in a Feb. 24 release.
The platform is located in the Arabian Sea, southwest of Mumbai, India.
The company said it used its proprietary Unideck integrated topside float over installation system for the first time in the Indian waters.
The unique feature of the installation method is that it performs the integrated production deck (topsides) installation in a single operation, thus saving installation time and lowering risks compared to some other traditional methodologies of multiple lifts of smaller modules.
The topsides were designed by Technip in India for the floatover installation, using Technip’s proprietary Unideck integrated deck installation system, with the support of Technip in France.
The HRD project started in 2013, when Technip, in a consortium with AFCONS Infrastructure Ltd. and TH Heavy Engineering Berhad, was awarded the HRD process platform contract by ONGC, worth about €220 million (US$249 million). Technip's share is about €50 million (US$56.6 million).
