Production
The field is expected to produce about 200,000 barrels per day (32,000 m3/d) of oil and 180 million cubic feet per day (5,100,000 m3/d) of gas.
The Atlantis field has been developed with a semi-submersible production platform, Atlantis PQ, designed by GVA Consultants and built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), South Korea. In addition to the semi-submersible platform, field development uses a network of wet-tree subsea wells.
The subsea elements of the Atlantis field were designed and fabricated by PS Fabricators. It is one of the largest to undergo systems integration testing (SIT) on land, also at PS Fabricators SIT site. This includes positioning the components as they would be positioned subsea, pressure testing, pig testing, etc. The system itself is rigorously tested to ensure its safety subsea.
