Date & Time
Thursday, March 5, 2026, 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Description
The Zephyrus Subsea Tieback is a recent project by Beacon Offshore Energy in the Gulf of America. Zephyrus is a 2 well development in about 3,500 ft Water Depth, tied back 8 miles to existing subsea infrastructure operated by a third party Host. The existing Host infrastructure has a lower design pressure compared to Zephyrus and as such Zephyrus utilizes a subsea high integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) in order to facilitate this tie in. Zephyrus is the third HIPPS in the Gulf of America. This presentation will provide a project overview, challenges and successes of the Zephyrus development.
