Bergen Group and Calm Oceans agreed an agency deal to market a newly developed mono-column platform (MCP) in the Norwegian market.
This offshore mobile platform is a self-elevating, multipurpose and high payload jackup, specially designed to address the commercial challenges relating to marginal field technical development, as well as those associated with early monetization of oil and gas fields.
Calm Oceans, is a Singapore-registered company owned by controlled by Brian Chang Holdings, and which 33.1 % ownership in Bergen Group.
“The MCP is an effective bespoke solution which caters to any offshore field development that are within 120m water depth, particularly for marginal fields. Together with our leasing business model, we believed that this solution would be especially valuable and beneficial during this challenging period, for field operators whom are looking at means of reducing CAPEX while sustaining the business. We are confident that the MCP would mark its presence in the Norwegian market with the help of Bergen Group”, says Brian Chang.
The MCP supports high variable deck load up to 5000-tonne, with a generous deck space capable of taking on different modular facilities such as drilling modules, production modules, accommodation modules as well as combined drilling and production modules as may be required. in order to provide the different functions required.
When these various functions are put together they serve as a complete field development solution for the end-user. The platform essentially comprises a deck box, four-chord square truss structure (mono-column) and a mat foundation. With the mat design, the MCP can operate in oil fields with soft seabed’s which are challenging for conventional jackups.
Also, with its self-elevating feature, there is no need for sophisticated and expensive offshore construction fleet during deployment and relocation.
The MCP design is conceptualized by Brian Chang and is classed with the American Bureau Society, adhering to mobile offshore unit code 2008 and other relevant IMO guidelines.
