Alba B3 installed offshore Equatorial Guinea

Heerema Fabrication Group (HFG) says Marathon's Alba B3 topside and jacket have now been installed offshore Equatorial Guinea. 

The 2000-ton, four-legged jacket, built at HFG's Vlissingen yard in the Netherlands, supports the 4500-ton B3 compression platform, built for Marathon Oil's Alba 3 platform. The topsides were assembled at HFG's Zwijndrecht yard, 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 Marathon Oil.
