Simply getting a man down such a narrow tube by rope ladder was considered almost impossible, but these lads did it. Fotnote: Epoxy, or artificial resin, is a liquid plastic substance which fuses with the substratum to function as a glue. They had with them what was needed to seal the leak with epoxy. The chosen repair method involved sending people through the narrow pipe from about four metres above the manifold. All the pipes are manufactured in glassfibre-reinforced plastic (GRP) surrounded by reinforced concrete.Ī conductor measuring 65 centimetres in diameter rises from the manifold to carry oil up to the topsides for treatment/processing and onward transport to a loading buoy.ĭuring pressure-testing of this piping system, the cast-in manifold was found to have a leak. This is shaped like a doughnut with a diameter of about 30 metres. Pipes conducting oil to and from storage run through the cell walls and into the central cell, where they terminate in a manifold measuring 80 centimetres in diameter. The bottom section of the GBS comprises seven oil storage cells clustered around a central cell, which forms the lowest part of the shaft. Before that got properly under way, however, the first mechanical outfitting for the support shaft was positioned in February 1991. When the skirts had been completed in October, work could begin to construct the formwork for the actual storage cells. Photo: Eivind Wolff/Norwegian Petroleum Museum

The first job was to cast the nine-metre-high skirts which would ensure that the platform would dig into the seabed and withstand all kinds of weather out on the field. The Sleipner A GBS lay already in the fjord.ĭuring the summer, the dry dock was emptied of water and work could begin in August on the lowest part of the storage cells and central support shaft for the Draugen structure. At the same time, plans were laid to tow the base section for the Gullfaks C GBS from the adjacent dry dock into the Gands Fjord immediately outside. The sheet pile retaining wall for a dry dock at Jåttåvågen in Stavanger was established in June 1990.

Tørnquist does add that Red Thread are still working on Kickstarter backer rewards for Dreamfall Chapters, saying "we will continue to do so until we've delivered on everything we promised back in 2013."ĭraugen's due some time in 2019. The current version of Draugen is the best version of Draugen, and I'm personally relieved that we never got around to finishing any of the previous versions. "We've tinkered with it continuously, and we've rebooted the project on several occasions. "It's not like the game's been on ice since then, however," Tørnquist said in today's post. You might find that an interesting read for perspective on what Red Thread have done since. Back then, our American was to be alone as he explored a deserted village across seven in-game days. Our former Adam (RPS in peace) talked Draugen with Tørnquist back in 2014, but the game has changed loads since then.
Which possibly makes us Batman? That might come in handy, given that ugly things are afoot in this pretty place. We'll play an American in search of his missing sister, accompanied by his ward, Lissie. Here, come see the landscape and meet the chum who'll accompany us. Why, they've even whipped together its first proper trailer to introduce it to the world. However, Red Thread Games are now confident that the first-person explore-o-mystery 'em up set in a 1920s Norwegian coastal community is now on track, and should launch in 2019. "This obviously didn't pan out quite as expected." "We first announced Draugen in 2013-perhaps, in retrospect, a bit premature-with a highly optimistic release date of 2015," writer and creative director Ragnar Tørnquist (of The Longest Journey and The Secret World fame) said today.
