Trendsetter Engineering has completed the design and build of subsea production equipment for Noble Energy’s Leviathan project in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel, capping off over 2 years of effort.
The scope of work included multiple clamp connection systems, subsea distribution equipment, monoethylene glycol filter modules, 2-in. connection systems, and subsea manifolds.
In its 3Q 2018 report in November, Noble Energy said the Leviathan project was 67% complete, remained on budget and on schedule for first gas sales by year-end 2019. Other milestones included:
- Finished 2 well completions, flow tests confirmed deliverability
- Completed installation of subsea trees
- Completed floating of the main deck
The platform jacket was delivered in January. Tapping into the 612-Bcm Leviathan reservoir, the platform’s full processing capability initially is expected to be 1.2 Bcf/D with possible expansion to 2.1 Bcf/D. Noble Energy said the field contains at least 22 Tcf of recoverable natural gas.
The first phase of the project carries a $3.75-billion price tag. Combined with a planned second phase, the total project cost may top $5 billion.
