Wood Group starts detailed Leviathan engineering

Engineering firm Wood Group has started detailed engineering on the Leviathan field development platform after completing front-end engineering and design (FEED) on the project. 

Leviathan is Noble Energy's giant gas field project in the Mediterranean Sea, offshore Israel. The detailed design work will include platform and jacket design and follows a seven month FEED period. 

The estimated 30,000-ton fixed platform is being initially designed to process 1.2 Bcf/d of gas, expandable to 2.1 Bcf/d to accommodate future production. The platform will be installed in 86m water depth. 

Wood Group previously designed the Tamar platform topsides for Wood Group, as well as the Tamar onshore compression plant, which receives natural gas from the Mari-B and Tamar fields in the Mediterranean Sea; and the topsides and jacket for the Alen production platform, offshore Equatorial Guinea.
