Description
- The Longtom field consists of two subsea wells, produced via a pipeline that connects to the existing PaB offshore pipeline and the Patricia Baleen Gas Processing Plant. The development comprises the following:
- Two subsea production wells – Longtom-3 and -4, with facilities to allow the tie-in of a future third well.
- A 17 km 300 mm DN pipeline starting at the Longtom-3 well and connecting into the offshore end of the PaB pipeline.
- A High Integrity Pipeline Protection System (HIPPS) to protect the PaB pipeline against overpressure from the higher-pressure Longtom wells.
- A subsea umbilical extension connected to the existing PaB umbilical line that provides electrical, hydraulic and chemical services to the Longtom wells and Longtom and Patricia Baleen pipelines.
