BW Opal achieves Interim Performance Test milestone
BW Offshore is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Interim
Performance Test (IPT) for the BW Opal FPSO, as part of the commissioning
programme for the Santos-operated Barossa LNG project offshore northern
Australia.
The completion of IPT constitutes an important operational milestone for BW
Opal. The test confirms that key production, processing and utility systems on
the FPSO are operating in an integrated manner and are capable of delivering
stable performance under production conditions.
Following the restart of production in early May, BW Opal has continued gas
production and export. Production is being managed in close coordination with
Santos during this phase of the ramp-up and commissioning programme.
BW Offshore remains focused on safe and stable operations, the completion of
remaining commissioning activities, and progress toward Practical Completion.
Practical Completion will mark the commencement of the long-term firm contract
period for BW Opal.
