Initial design work for the project commenced late in 1992, the platform was loaded out in 1995 and was ready for production in early 1996. My company Kvaerner H&G Offshore Ltd. were part of the integrated team responsible for the detailed design and procurement of the Topsides. I was part of the electrical group responsible for the design of the power generation, distribution and lighting systems. The topsides comprise of a 9,200 tonne integrated deck, 88 metres long 30 metres wide and 15.5 metres high plus the 3,500 tonne Gas Treatment Module. The facilities include the 24 slot wellbay, separation, gas compression, accommodation for 50 people, utilities, helideck, flare and crane. The topsides are supported on a 6 leg steel jacket. Judy is the name assigned to the main platform and Joanne the name for the subsea manifold designed by Aker Engineering. The Phillips tradition is to name the fields alphabetically, using the name of a female relative of the projects senior geologist !.
