Development of the Hibernia field oil production/ transportation system presents design challenges and economic considerations that closely resemble experiences encountered in developing the Thistle field in the UK sector of the North Sea. The principal similarities between these 2 development plans lie in the environmental conditions that prevail in the Hibernia field and the North Sea and in the economic benefits realizable by bringing in oil production at the earliest possible point in the oil field development program. The design concept, installation procedure, and transport operation used for initially handling the Thistle field production may be valuable guidelines for implementing oil production and transportation systems in the Hibernia field.
