Second Maui platform to be built on steel
PA Wellington The chairman of Maui Development, Ltd, Mr Warren Freer, announced yesterday that the board had decided to develop a second Maul platform on a steel substructure. Mr Freer emphasised that no decision had been made on the final facilities of the platform, and that this decision would turn on the outcome of field appraisal and petroleum engineering studies. It was not expected,
however, that the final specifications indicated by these studies would alter the relative merits of concrete and steel substructures.
Mr Freer said the decision to use steel resulted from engineering studies started in August, 1986. They were recently completed at a cost of more than $2 million under the supervision of the operator of the Maul field, Shell BP and Todd Oil Services, Ltd.
