Dixstone has been awarded the Construction, Procurement and Integration of their new LNG Project in Cap Lopez, GABON
This project is a nearshore type LNG facilities that will produce 0,7 MTPA of LNG and 25,000 tons of LPG per year (phase 1) with a storage capacity of 137,000m3 in an ex gas tanker converted to FSO.
Dixstone will perform the construction of the liquefaction barge in Dubai where a new office has been set of based on its extensive experience in international FSO/FPSO conversions in the last 20 years and 15+ MOPU/MODU/MOCU/MOLQU/MOPoDU conversions and upgrades performed in the last years for various countries in Africa, UK, Brazil and Caribbean area.
Dixstone is providing a unique local content capacity to the project thanks to its “Les Chantiers du Gabon” yard situated in Port-Gentil. The yard will be used to support Perenco Oil & Gas Gabon onshore works necessary to gather the gas from the operated fields in the country and to support the works at Cap Lopez Terminal
After a long tow, starting from our yard in The Netherlands the Magisus was successfully installed in the challenging estuary of the Congo river in DRC. All those operations were made possible thanks to the know-how and assets from Dixstone.
She is now ready for her second life as a fixed compression platform. Wishing her all the best in the hands of our end client.
5 years after launching Dixstone jack-ups conversion activities in the Netherlands, Dixstone is strengthening its strategic positioning in the North Sea with the purchase in December 2023 of the Yard in Vlissingen, close to the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp.
The purchased concession, with an area of approximately 5 hectares, includes the following facilities: 28,000m² of warehouses, 175m of quay, offices for project teams, and manufacturing workshops for some of our contractors; cutting shed and welding assembly of structures, precision machine tools, and sandblasting-painting booths.
After a busy 2023 with the delivery of two major projects; Tchendo 2 (Ex-Carrus), and Mopu-C (Ex-Colga), this tool in 2024 will facilitate: delivery of KOMBI2 platform (Ex-Caturix), preparatory works on GLANIS and MAGNACUS for future MOPU conversion, refurbishment, and upgrades of 4 SOLAR Turbines mobile units, and support to Petrodec decommissioning activities.
In line with our environmental values, Dixstone has obtained an operating permit from the regional implementation service (Zeeland-RUD) to cover our industrial activities and comply with European and local standards including but not limited to land use planning, environment, energy and waste management, emissions control and the protection of nature and biodiversity.
The next goal for 2024/2025 will be to show compliance with international recognized standards ISO 9001 (Quality), 14001 (Environment), 45001 (Safety).
The 13th patented self-elevated offshore platform “Fololo” offering a 120 tone, 300sq meter deck up to 30meters water depth has been installed by Dixstone teams in Gabon.
These platforms have a unique design to provide safe, fast track extra deck for offshore projects in shallow water for multipurpose for the E&P company. While most of them allow to perform offshore well maintenance some other are equipped with gas compressor units that could not be installed in over crowed existing facilities.
This is a unique concept developed by Dixstone for the gulf of guinea weather conditions, a perfect fit for purpose tool for its client and affiliate company Perenco. The company is now working on 6 legs 40m water depth type that could withstand more weight and offer extra space as well as a 60m WD option.
The MSV COBEIA has recently been hired by Perenco T&t and its partners, Heritage Petroleum and the National Gas Company (NGC), as part of their $200 million three-year refurbishment program to modernize the TSP fields by electrifying the offshore platforms and replacing the existing export pipeline connecting the field to the onshore Terminal at Galeota.
Dixstone has been awarded the conversion and installation of the MOPoU MAGISUS as part of its know-how to bring extra space offshore with added value (in that case o 30MW phased power plant and ancillary equipment to power ESP for nearby wells) and the replacement of the 30’’, 70km export pipeline.
The COBEIA that has just installed similar pipeline in Brazil has been awarded the project in turn key with a challenging shore landing and 3 offshore crossing (underneath the existing pipelines!). To perform that job, the COBEIA has been upgraded in Curacao shipyard with the addition of lateral thrusters to withstand the heavy current and regional swell.
