The works include construction of 32 oil and gas well locations, platforms, construction of 75km length of roads, construction of 22No 7.3m wide concrete bridges scattered around the fields, site preparation of nine remote manifold locations, development of concepts, design and construction of various infrastructural off-site projects to support the Gbaran-Ubie Gas project. Show less The Magpie and Mampak total electrical power peak demand load is 1.75 MW and hence 3 (2N+1) unit of Saturn-20 GTG or equal size of machine is sufficient to cater for the project load requirement. 11kV system provides better voltage regulation and less transmission loss and hence 11kV, 60Hz, should be used for power distribution to entire offshore outstation platforms for Mampak field. Electrical power required for MGCP-1 complex is from local GT Generators 3 x Solar Saturn-20 Centralized power system is the key to development of MAMPAK field. Power supply to Mampak would be by submarine composite cable (consisting 3C x 95 Sq.mm, 11kV power cores, 10c x 2.5 Pilot wire and 12 single mode fibre optic cores) from MGCP-01. The tie-in point will be at HV ring main unit (RMU) and fibre optic splitter box for electrical and instrumentation respectively. 11kV system provides better voltage regulation and less transmission loss and hence 11kV, 60Hz, should be used for power distribution to entire offshore outstation platforms for Mampak field. The design package includes such as: Responsible for preparation of feasibility study report, VAR2, VAR3 report, project cost and conceptual design package. (value 450 million S$)Brunei National Master Plan – Feasibility study & Energy Management Plan study; Preparation of power contingency report and country future project data collection including co-ordination with Brunei government Department of Electricity Supply (DES) for next 30 year’s master plan. 3500 MW power demand will be expected the National power demand for next 30 years in Brunei including onshore and offshore. Land allocation for the OHL routing and underground cable.1) G2 Substation Upgrade and Transformer Replacement Project2) Seria Crude Oil Terminal (SCOT) Rejuvenation Project3) Produced Water Re-Injection Phase 24) SCOT F24 & G23 Substations (33/11kV & 33/11.5 - 6.6kV) Show less
