The Marjan oil and gas collection and
transportation platform is a ground-breaking achievement in offshore
construction technology, particularly for Chinese builders. This massive
structure, tipping the scales at over 17,200 tons, stands as one of the largest
offshore platforms globally. Designed to handle an impressive annual output,
the Marjan platform is capable of processing 24 million tonnes of crude oil and
7.4 billion cubic meters of associated gas. Its sheer scale is matched by its
technical sophistication: the platform features a vast array of pipeline types
and sizes, along with a complex system layout that sets new standards in the
industry. The platform's construction not only represents a significant
engineering feat but also underscores advancements in offshore infrastructure.
It integrates cutting-edge technology to ensure efficient collection and
transportation, making it a landmark project in the evolution of offshore oil
and gas facilities. During development tests, VCR demonstrated impressive
efficiency improvements with better fuel consumption and reduced greenhouse gas
emissions, including methane. For the French container line, which runs a fleet
of over 620 ships, this technology could be a key part of their strategy to
achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050. The company currently operates more than 30
dual-fuel LNG vessels and has nearly a hundred more on order, many of which are
also set to use dual-fuel LNG.
