In this video, it is shown how a spool is installed in an offshore field. A pipe or pipeline spool is a short piece of pipe typically between two flanges. It connects two other parts of the system, perhaps a pressure vessel and a valve and can be removed for maintenance or replacement needs.
Background of the field
The Cygnus gas field is situated within UK Continental Shelf blocks 44/12a and 44/11a in 23m of water. The field is operated by Engie (previously GDF Suez), which also owns a 38.75% stake. Centrica has a 48.75% interest and Bayerngas holds the remaining 12.5%. Bayerngas acquired its interest from Endeavour in August 2010.
Cygnus is located about 150km off the coast of Lincolnshire. It has gross 2P reserves of approximately 18 billion cubic metres.
The Cygnus field is one of the largest gas fields in the southern North Sea and the largest to be discovered in the last 25 years within the Southern Gas Basin.
