ABT said Arup has considerable project management experience that will enhance the consortium’s ability to deliver its solutions on schedule and its addition serves as a positive step for the initiative.

Four of Arup’s range of ACE self-installing and re-deployable platforms have been deployed to date, with the fifth currently being developed for a field in the UK North Sea.

"The lean and focussed approach being adopted is exactly what is required to maximise recovery of resources in the North Sea and beyond at a time of lower oil prices."

The four platforms have been deployed in Australia’s Bass Strait, the Taranaki Basin off New Zealand, the West Natuna Sea in Indonesia and the West Philippine Sea.
