One of our most senior Pipe Stress Consultants – Vince York, is currently working for Aker Trondheim, situated in Western Norway. His hobby is fishing and he is recognized as an expert. He has caught very large fish throughout Europe, Scandinavia and particularly in South America. Last week he again distinguished himself by catching what we can only describe as a leviathan in the form of the most magnificent salmon, on fly in Stjordal River. We are reliably informed that the salmon weighs 19lb. Well done Vince. Norway is a marvellous country in which to visit and work, but B&H cannot guarantee you can successfully catch magnificent fish. We can guarantee however, that you will enjoy the Norwegian experience. Norwegian people are extremely hospitable and friendly and the rugged nature of the Western Coastline, in the form of mountains and deep water fjords, is the most beautiful in the world. For those of you who are familiar with ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ you will remember that the designer of the Western Norwegian Coastline, won an Intergalactic Award. Please enjoy Vince’s fish. Kashagan project on fire!The Kashagan Project located in Kazakhstan’s North Caspian Sea is a Shallow Water Offshore Oilfield Development with The project will work through 3-phases, starting with the creation of the drilling and well head islands. Aker solutions, Worley Parsons and CB&I will work as a fully integrated team across the 3 phases of development. About 80 percent of Kazakhstan’s oil has nowhere to go today, other than through Russia’s pipeline system. Half the remainder is exported through the Georgian Black Sea port of Batumi, the seaside capital of the Georgian autonomous province of Ajaria; the rest goes to China. Kazakhstan has now decided to construct a 590-mile pipeline, for Kashagan oil in particular, running from Eskene, Kashagan’s onshore processing facility to the port of Kuryk, near Aqtau. This pipeline, provisionally estimated to cost US$3 billion, will be the main section of a projected Kazakhstan-Caspian Transportation System (KCTS) that will include expanded and upgraded ports as well as the construction of tanker fleets and, if necessary, additional pipelines within Kazakhstan itself. The sheer scope of this project will require many specialist individuals from early FEED requirements through to final commissioning and start up. Browning & Henderson’s extensive database of industry experts will ensure many of the necessary positions required can be internally sourced. |
