The redevelopment is being carried out due to seabed subsidence at the Tyra complex. Since 1980, the seabed has subsided by more than 5m reducing the air gap between the sea level and the bottom of the platforms.

To overcome this situation, Total has committed to replacing the wellhead platforms with the installation of new and elevated topsides supported by 13m high jacket extensions. Total is investing around $3.3bn in the redevelopment, which is expected to extend the life of the Tyra field.

In November last year, Total Exploration and Production (E&P) Denmark awarded a contract to Emerson for Tyra gas field redevelopment project.
