First oil at the world’s largest floating platform has been rescheduled to the end of 2008. The cause of the delay is the need to repair and replace components in the subsea system following a failure during pre-commissioning checks. The equipment had passed all the normal industry standard tests and regulatory requirements. But when we conducted more prolonged and rigorous testing, as an additional safety precaution, a failure occurred on a weld in one of the subsea manifolds.
The subsea equipment had remained in a cold state, with cathodic protection, on the sea bed for some time following the listing of the platform after its evacuation during the 2005 hurricane season. Following a thorough investigation, we concluded that these unusual circumstances led to hydrogen embrittlement of the equipment so that it could not perform its intended high pressure, high temperature service. We will now retrieve and replace all the subsea components we believe could be at risk, before starting production by the end of 2008.
