Energean PLC has completed installation of the sales gas export pipeline and main deepwater production systems in the Karish and Tanin development project, offshore Israel. Karish development is now 80% complete, according to Energean.
TechnipFMC completed core installation of 90.3 km of 30- and 24-in. OD pipeline at depths as much as 1,700 m using Allseas’ Solitaire pipelay vessel. Construction support vessel Normand Cutter completed installation of the production manifold and subsea isolation valve foundations and structures. The company expects full pipeline installation, including a tie-in manifold and precommissioning, to be completed fourth-quarter 2020.
Energean expects installation of three sets of risers (two 10-in. OD and one 16-in. OD) that will connect the development’s three producing wells to the 8-billion cu m/year Energean Power floating production vessel and then the sales gas pipeline to begin fourth-quarter 2020 and be completed first-quarter 2021.
Karish lies in the Alon C license in 5,700 ft of water. It was discovered in May 2013 and drilled to a depth of 15,783 ft, encountering 184 ft of net gas pay in high-quality lower Miocene sands with 0.9 tcf confirmed reserves.
Energean Israel operates Karish with 100% interest.
