Conceptual & Detailed Design of St. Joseph Re-Development Project

The St. Joseph field is located in the South China Sea about 35 kilometers off the coast of Usukan Bay and about 178 kilometers North East of Labuan. The water depth in the area is about 38.7 meters. St Joseph field is a cluster of Drilling Jackets (SJJT-A, B, F, G and H), Production Platform SJP-A, Riser Platform SJR-A, Compression Platform SJK-A and Vent/Flare Jacket SJV-A.

The facilities in North Sabah are more than 20 years old, currently unamanned and maintained from an onshore living quarters based in Kota Belud. Due to the high operational and maintenance activities required, staff travel on a daily basis by bus to Usukan Bay then a number of crew boats transport staff to the platforms (weather permitting).

With some 80 personnel traveling to the field each day, existing facilities cannot be considered un-manned. Therefore, a new 80 personnel living quarter together with a combined water treatment /injection system with a design capacity of 60,000 bwpd will be installed on a new SJQ-A Platform. The new SJQ-A will have a minimum design life of 20 years and it will be bridge link to SJP-A Platform.

The scope of work will include the conceptual and detailed design of St. Joseph Redevelopment Project namely:

1. Topsides and substructure of a new SJQ-A Platform.
2. New pipelines and subsea cables from SJQ-A to SJJT-G and SJJT-H for hook up of 6 water injection wells
3. A new bridge linking SJQ-A to SJP-A
4. Smart Facilities at SJJT-G & SJJT-H for WI
5. Improved well test metering for all SJ satellite jackets
6. Power Infrastructure upgrade and distribution
7. Hook-up of 5 infill production wells.
