The development concept is a floating production facility (FPSO) tied to five well templates on the seabed. The consent relates to the drilling of 11 production wells and one exploration well during the time period from mid-November 2009 to around the end of April 2011.
The Borgland Dolphin is a semi-submersible, Aker H3-type mobile facility that was built as a flotel at Bergen Mekaniske Verksted in 1976. In 1999, it was modified into a mobile drilling facility at Harlan and Wolff Shipbuilding and Heavy Industries Ltd in Belfast.
The facility is owned by Dolphin AS and received an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) in September 2004.
