New offshore installation for West El Burullus project to boost production

The PetroWeb-operated West El Burullus Gas Field Development Project in Idku saw the installation of the WEB Offshore Platform by Petroleum Marine Services 

A massive marine unit, barge PMS 12 and several specialised supported vessels were used to facilitate the installation. After the deployment of a 345-tons jacket, a deck weighing 431 tons was installed as well. 

This installation advances Egypt's Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources towards its production optimisation goals. 

The future installation of a second platform called Papyrus will further boost this goal.

Earlier the West El Burullus project underwent the placement of an 8-inch subsea pipeline, also spearheaded by PMS 11, which is specifically designed for subsea pipeline laying and platform installation. 

This will be followed by the laying of a 14-inch pipeline, with total length 32 kms.

PMS has driven major national projects across both the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, including its contributions to the development of giant gas fields most notably Phases 10 and 11 of the West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) Gas Field Development.
