Goliat platform floats off

The Goliat floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) floated off the Dockwise Vanguard in the fjord outside Hammerfest on 23 April.

Goliat. From Eni.

Eni says the platform will now be temporarily moored in Ersvika, 6km south of Hammerfest. Once in Ersvika, work to complete preparations for tow out to the Goliat field will begin. This will include inspections, tests and checks of all systems and equipment.

The tow out to the Goliat field in the Barents Sea is set for early May. At that time, Goliat will become the world’s northernmost producing offshore oil field.

The field expected to come on stream mid-2015.

Eni is operator and has 65% interest in Goliat, with Statoil owning the remaining 35%.
