Alba B3 ready for Equatorial Guinea

Heerema Fabrication Group (HFG) has loaded out the Alba B3 jacket and topsides ahead of its sail away to Equatorial Guinea, planned for the end of this month. 

The 2000-ton, four-legged jacket, built at the Vlissingen yard in the Netherlands, will support the 4500-ton B3 compression platform, built for Marathon Oil's Alba 3 platform, offshore Equatorial Guinea. The topsides were assembled at Zwijndrecht, also in the Netherlands. 

The Alba field compression project is designed to maintain the production plateau two additional years and extend field life by up to eight years. It is due to be operational by mid-2016, according to a statement from Marathon Oil today.
