Operator AWE said the subsea tie-back and installation project started on Thursday with the arrival of the DOF Subsea-owned Skandi Singapore diving support vessel.
The project involves the installation and commissioning of subsea pipelines, manifolds and ancillary support equipment to connect the Pateke-4H development well to the Tui field gathering system.
The project is being carried out in conjunction with a two week planned shut down of the Umuroa floating production, storage and offloading facility for inspection and maintenance.
