French oil and gas major TotalEnergies completed the load out of the three new Tyra East well head and riser topsides to the transportation vessel BigRoll Beaufort. 

The loadout was wrapped up at the Sembcorp Marine’s Sembawang facility, late last week, according to the vice president, head of the Tyra Redevelopment at Total, Morten Hesselager Pedersen.

Following the load out onto the vessel, as long as three Olympic swimming pools, preparations for sail away have started.

According to Pedersen, preparations for the sail away are progressing well at the yard. BigRoll Beaufort is expected to start the voyage towards the Tyra field in the Danish North Sea later this month.

The Tyra Redevelopment project is lead by TotalEnergies in partnership with Noreco and Nordsøfonden.The major is investing over $300 million to redevelop the Tyra platforms as Denmark and Europe take course towards a future with low-carbon energy.

Facing delays due to the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic, the redeveloped Tyra is expected to start production in 2023.

Once completed it will deliver approximately 60,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day, equating to over 200 million boe over the next 25 years.
