Dubbed SHARP, or Southern Hub Area Rationalisation project, Jord’s task is to replace redundant compression equipment from the Leman and Indefatigable fields – developed some 50 years ago – with a single set of low pressure compression equipment that will serve both fields.

The project has two main work scopes.  A brownfield element will simplify existing manned hubs into unmanned platforms and a greenfield element will involve conversion of a jack up rig into a new compression platform.

Jord’s scope entails two modules on the jack up rig, designed to separate, compress and export 100 MMSCFD of natural gas. In the foreground is a 250 ton gas compression module.  Behind it sits a 270 ton slug catcher module. A third 220 ton pig launcher module forms part of the brownfield scope.  Various smaller modules complete the scope of supply.  These include chemical injection, fuel gas and produced water treatment.
