Dana Petroleum Completes Gas Pipeline for Western Isles Development

Dana Petroleum announced it has successfully installed the gas pipeline for the Western Isles Development Project.

“We are pleased to have completed the first part of the 2014 offshore subsea campaign safely, successfully and on schedule. This is another important milestone achievement for the Western Isles Development Project," Hugh McClure, director of capital development projects, said in a note released on Tuesday. 

The 11-kilometer pipeline will export excess produced gas to the Tern - North Cormorant gas pipeline and import gas for lift gas and fuel when required.

‘The Western Isles Project (Dana 77% and CIECO 23%) will develop two oil fields called Harris and Barra in the Northern North Sea, 160km east of the Shetlands and 12km west of Tern field. It involves a subsea development of at least five production and four water injection wells tied back to a new build floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) with oil export using shuttle tankers.’
