The Allegheny SeaStar® TLP is based on the same hull geometry and payload characteristics as Morpeth, but is installed in twice the water depth, demonstrating the water depth flexibility of TLP’s. Fabrication began on this second SeaStar TLP as the construction of the first neared completion. The field was initially expected to produce approximately 30,000 bopd and 40 MMscf/d of gas, but was later increased to 190 MMscf/d to process and accommodate production from other area subsea tiebacks. SBM Atlantia’s scope of work was EPCi.
