SEMI-SUBMERSIBLE PLATFORM

Back

Aquila Forensics were involved in the successful conclusion of negotiations between the Contractor and Owner on a large semi-submersible oil and gas production platform. 

Requirements involved providing detailed analysis necessary to enable the parties to reach agreement and the forensic interrogation of claims in excess of US$100 million. 

PROJECT

At 52,000 tonnes and with an area of 10,000 m2, it is one of the biggest structures of its kind in the world, which required specialist design, construction and transportation techniques to cope with its sheer scale, Aquila Forensics were required to have specialist knowledge of similar projects prior to engagement. 

Our professionals were engaged in the assessment of quantum relating to various contended heads of liability, enabling the parties to successfully conclude negotiations and avoid costly and lengthy arbitral proceedings. 

The project consisted of a semi-submersible unit with a per day capacity for processing 180,000 barrels of oil, compressing 6,000,000 m3 of natural gas and injecting 290,000 barrels of water.  

As construction work generated 5,000 direct and 15,000 indirect jobs, Aquila Forensics were required to evaluate and quantify detailed labour and management costs associated with the project.
