The Marram field development is a gas development and storage energy infrastructure project. The contract involves a subsea tie-in connection
PDi global business development director Kirstie Langan said: “We are delighted to be working with EnergyPathways as they progress this most exciting gas development and storage energy infrastructure project, which will provide the UK with a secure and flexible supply of low-carbon, low-cost energy.”
Marram underground geo-storage capacity is projected to be up to 50 billion cubic feet of gas, on par with Rough, said to be the UK's largest gas storage facility.
The development, located 15–25km from existing gas and electricity infrastructure with available capacity, is expected to comprise two shallow, short lateral production wells and is targeting first gas as early as this year.
The integrated energy storage is being developed to provide the UK with a secure flexible gas supply and leverage the growing value loss from the UK’s excess wind power by utilising green hydrogen storage solutions.
EnergyPathways chief operating officer Derek Grimmer said: “After meeting with many supply chain companies that operate in both the Subsea and Topsides/EPIC space, we selected PDi for their particular skills, experience and track record in pipeline tie-ins/hot-taps, coupled with their pragmatic approach to engineering solutions and understanding of new technologies that have been developed over recent years."
