Hibernia is an offshore oilfield located 315 km east southeast of St. John`s, Newfoundland, off Canada`s east coast. The field will be produced from a single concrete platform standing in 80 m of water on the Grand Banks. There will be a double loop export line and offshore loading system for dedicated, double hulled tankers. The field is expected to come into production in late 1997. It has taken just over 5 years to construct the platform. While four of the five Topsides modules of the platform were built at yards in Italy and Korea, the Gravity Base Structure (GBS) or caisson, the wellhead module, and several topsides mounted structures were built in Newfoundland. The platform will be assembled and completed at the Newfoundland site prior to towout to the Grand Banks for production operations. Considerable effort went into ensuring a full understanding of the spatial and operational needs of other users of the platform construction area, primarily inshore fishermen.
