One of Teekay's largest projects recently achieved an important milestone. The Voyageur Spirit FPSO has achieved first oil on the Huntington field in the United Kingdom. The production unit has been installed for its new charter contract with E.ON Ruhrgas UK E&P (E.ON). The charter is expected to last for a firm period of five years, with extension options, the Corp. news release said.
Teekay acquired the 2009-built Voyageur Spirit as part of the acquisition of three FPSO units from Sevan in October last year. Before undergoing the upgrades, the FPSO operated on the Shelley field in the UK sector of the North Sea from August 2009 to August 2010.
Designed with a storage capacity of 270,000 bbls, the Voyageur Spirit FPSO offers a processing capacity of 30,000 bopd and a total liquids (oil and water) processing capacity of 60,000 bpd.
