About
Ben has over 17 years of specialist engineering experience in the design and analysis of offshore platforms, foundations, cables, and riser systems. He has held numerous project management and technical leadership roles on a variety of projects from concept through to detailed design based out of our London, Kuala Lumpur and Houston offices.
As one of the UK directors, Ben’s current focus is on the development of our minimum facilities platforms and fixed offshore wind offerings for the European, Middle East and Africa markets. Ben is a graduate of Oxford and Imperial Universities with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, and a Master’s in Quantum Physics.
Insights
Conductor-supported minimum facility platforms (MFPs) are a field-proven, flexible alternative to traditional jacket platforms suitable for water depths up to 120m. Well conductors are used as the foundation and structural support for the topsides and, depending on the size, are fully installable by a jack-up drilling rig. Minimizing the size of the conventional jacket reduces lead times for materials and construction. It allows for fabrication at local yards, resulting in reduced overall project costs, significantly shorter delivery times, and where required, improved project local content.
With 15 years’ expertise in the design and delivery of MFPs, coupled with our experience in offshore operations, we design the most appropriate solution for your development and safely deliver your project from concept through to delivery in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
Our MFP designs are lightweight structures suitable for benign environments, minimal topside facilities or low well counts. These systems are a low-cost solution for exploration, appraisal, early production and satellite developments. Completely rig installable and with quick in-country delivery, they can significantly fast-track production opportunities without the expense of a traditional jacket platform or subsea development.
MFP
The MFP is our standard platform solution that is the most comparable to a traditional jacket platform. These conductor-supported platforms are highly adaptable to suit many different and specific applications using pre-engineered components and installation methods. The system is modular and uses field-proven technology to meet the demand for local content and cost and schedule efficiencies.
The modular design allows drilling and tree installation to start during the topsides fabrication process with a subsea structure and drilling template installed prior to the topsides completion, shortening the time to first oil or gas and reducing overall project costs.
MFP+
The MFP+ platform offers the advantages and cost savings of the standard MFP but is specially designed for greater water depths, harsher environments, greater well counts and heavier topsides.
Platform Extensions & Slot Additions
Conductor-supported platforms are often installed as stand-alone facilities, but they are also a convenient way of extending existing platforms. Installed alongside an existing platform, our extension wellhead platforms can provide additional well slots and use the topsides facilities of the existing assets, minimising or eliminating the need for strengthening of the existing platform or relying on old or potentially damaged conductors for slot recoveries.
