Crema, Italy
The tests
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ worked with Rosetti Marino on its development of the Jasmine discovery, a high pressure, and high temperature gas-condensate reservoir destined to produce 88,000 barrels of oil in the North Sea every year. Rosetti Marino worked with ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½'s team of experts in Crema to develop test jackets that will protect the rig fixings, sitting at a depth of over 260 ft. The three jackets – wellhead, riser and living platform – were made from various materials including steel, concrete caisson, floating steel and floating concrete.
The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ team in Crema conducted mechanical and crack tip opening displacement testing as well as a technical investigation into the welding of the offshore jacket to qualify the materials and welding them for the jacket construction.
The result
Following the successful testing period with ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, the jackets were shipped to Aberdeen for onward transfer to the rig site. It is anticipated that the Jasmine will start producing its first oil at the end of 2013.
