The Offshore Business Stream of the Penspen Group, Andrew Palmer & Associates, has been awarded the Subsea Detailed Design contract for the Shell UK Limited SWEEP Carrack East Project.

Shell UK Limited and NAM are planning the SWEEP Project, which aims to develop the remaining small gas opportunities within their U.K and Dutch Southern North Sea (SNS) portfolio.

Low cost subsea system solutions are an essential element of Shell’s SWEEP development strategy and the concept involves tying back new fields to their extensive host infrastructure in the region.

Andrew Palmer & Associates, the Offshore Business Stream of the Penspen Group who have completed many successful subsea projects in the North Sea and beyond, provided the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for a standardised low cost Subsea solution that can be applied across the prospects to achieve cost reduction. Following the successful completion of this FEED, Carrack East’s Detailed Design services will start immediately and will be provided from Andrew Palmer & Associates’ Aberdeen design office. It is envisaged that the Carrack East SWEEP well will be tied back to the host in a summer installation campaign.

Andrew Palmer & Associates also has pipeline and subsea design offices in London, Abu Dhabi and Bangkok
