The making of Tyra II: Come the behind the scenes

Watch our newest Tyra video where our TotalEnergies and Heerema colleagues give you interesting insights into the build-up of Tyra II - Denmark’s new high-tech hub for natural gas production.

2022 was a momentous year for the Tyra Redevelopment. One of our key highlights was the completion of Tyra II’s new shape. Together with our valued partner Heerema Marine Contractors we lifted the last of eight platforms – the 17,000 tons process module – into its final position. This crucial and record-breaking milestone marked the end of a long and successful collaboration between both parties.

As the big hook-up and commissioning scope continues offshore and all hands are on getting Tyra II ready for first gas, we take a moment to look back at various successful installation campaigns in the North Sea.

In this video, we have asked some of our team members from Heerema and TotalEnergies to reflect about the journey, highlights, challenges, and proudest moments in the build-up of Tyra II.

Meet Facundo: Testing the new Tyra facilities progresses

In this newest video, you will meet Facundo Cestona who is Commissioning Site Leader for the Tyra Redevelopment Project. Facundo will take you on a tour on the new high-tech processing module and give you interesting insights into the final phase of the project, where testing plays an important role. Learn more about how, when and why we perform the tests and meet the team behind.

Meet Raoul: Power-up and export at the Tyra field

In this newest video, you will meet Raoul Da Silva who is Commissioning Power & Compression Leader for Tyra Redevelopment. Raoul will take you on a tour around the new high-tech processing module where the gas from Tyra and the surrounding fields will be transformed into the final product supplied to Denmark and Europe. Here, he will give interesting insights into the power supply of the Tyra hub and show the gas export compressor which will distribute first gas to Denmark this winter.

Meet Ulrik: The reconnection to Denmark and surrounding fields

Come behind the scenes of the infrastructure reconnection campaign. Ulrik Phillip, Area Completion Manager for Tyra Redevelopment, takes you on a tour around the riser platform TEE where he provides interesting insights into the main connection points to Denmark and the surrounding fields and the overall campaign.

Well Reinstatement: a crucial part of the final phase of the Tyra Redevelopment

Work is progressing full steam ahead at Denmark's largest gas field, Tyra, where we have started the very last phase of the redevelopment. Watch the video: An important part of the final chapter in the Tyra Redevelopment is to reinstate the 42 wells which will allow us to resume extraction of natural gas from underground reservoirs.

Watch video: The final phase for Tyra II has begun

Currently, more than 1,200 people offshore and over 250 people on land are working on preparing the restart of Tyra’s production. Learn more about the final phase of the redevelopment in the video.

Biodiversity studies at Tyra field contribute to the development of offshore wind in the North Sea

In the recent years, it has become clearer than ever before that the North Sea holds a vast potential for the establishment of offshore wind, and TotalEnergies is one of several companies with plans for wind farms. But how does the marine environment react to noise from the construction work? A study from the Tyra project adds new knowledge.

Tyra II’s new home is heading to the North Sea

During two days in mid-February, 5,400 tonnes of steel and 7 storeys of technology, walls, furniture, a hospital, fitness center, control room, and a helicopter landing pad on top were put on wheels. The accommodation platform on Tyra II was then pushed onto a 122 meter long and 36-meter-wide floating barge.

Tyra II will give us a glimpse into the future

Tyra II will be one of the world’s most technologically advanced natural gas fields, where digitization will set new standards for production optimization, CO2 reduction and maintenance of Denmark’s newest gas field.

How do you fulfil 64,518 wishes for a home?

Not many people can say they have designed a seven-storey hotel on steel jackets, with a 360-degree view of the sea, space for 80 residents, a restaurant, laundry, hospital, laboratory, and even a helideck on top – in the North Sea 225 km from the west coast of Jutland.

3, 2, 1 – action! – The world’s biggest lift takes centre stage

Absolutely nothing was left to chance. Everything was choreographed down to the smallest detail and everyone had a role to play as if it were a Hollywood production, when the largest platform - the 17,000-tonne process module - was lifted into place on six legged jackets in the North Sea on 4 October 2022.
