North Sea polymer injection deal awarded
15 Dec 2014
Amec Foster Wheeler has won a contract from Chevron to deliver enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for one of its fields in the North Sea using polymer injection.
Chevron has hired Amec Foster Wheeler to carry out a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study on EOR in its Captain Field, which is located approximately 68 miles offshore north of Aberdeen.
The Captain EOR project will use polymer injection technology to increase oil and gas recovery, helping to further establish the offshore full-field application of polymer EOR technology for possible application elsewhere in the North Sea and globally.

The scope of work includes FEED design of the proposed Bridge Linked Platform (BLP) ‘B’ which will be utilised to store, mix and pump polymer.
Amec Foster Wheeler will also be responsible for the BLP brownfield tie-ins to the existing facilities as well as minor works on the Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) unit.
“This is a prestigious and challenging project that encompasses both greenfield and brownfield engineering, procurement and project management services, so is an excellent fit for our capabilities,” said Nick Shorten, managing director of Amec Foster Wheeler’s Greenfield business in Europe.
