ABSTRACT

The article focuses on the challenges faced by Pioneer Natural Resources in developing a construction plan for Oooguruk project in the near shore of Beaufort Sea in Alaska. The project consists of an offshore drill site (ODS), an onshore interconnect and production support facility (OTP), and a system of flowlines, powers cables, and communications cables connecting the onshore and offshore facilities. It discusses the primary challenges that can be attributed to the arctic conditions and seasonal constraints on transportation and logistics. Information on the offshore drill site, production facilities, wellbays, rig support complex, drilling rig, onshore tie-in and production support, flowlines, power and communication cables, module fabrication, and drilling program is provided.
