Heerema will transport the module from the fabrication yard on Batam Island in Indonesia to the Inpex-operated Ichthys field before installing it in a single lift. The module will be used to extend the production plateau of the field.
Heerema will be utilising Sleipnir for both the transport and installation of the module. The vessel has a wide range of sustainability measures, including the use of emission-reducing LNG, it said.
Ichthys field covers an area of around 800 km2 and contains more than 12 trillion ft3 of gas and 500mn barrels of condensate.
