2H Offshore, an Acteon company, has completed a contract for the detailed design of a CoSMOS minimum facilities wellhead platform for Paris-based, independent oil and gas company Perenco.

The new platform, known as DIF1, has been installed in the Dissoni field offshore Cameroon, in 7.0 m (23 ft) of water. Due to start production later this year, it will form part of a network of platforms in the area with interconnected flowlines and power distribution.

The 10 m (32 ft) by 5 m (16 ft) DIF1 platform is a cost-effective alternative to a jacket structure and offers installation flexibility, as it is suitable for installation from a barge or jackup rig, said 2H Offshore.

Leading all aspects of the design, 2H Offshore undertook in-house development of the structural design and novel aspects of the installation procedure while managing DPS (Bristol) Ltd. for the design of the process piping and instrumentation.
