Hebron GBS Oil Platform

The Hebron Field will be developed using a stand-alone, concrete gravity-based structure (GBS) production platform. The GBS will consist of a reinforced concrete structure designed to withstand the weight of the topsides, sea ice, icebergs, and meteorological and oceanographic conditions at the offshore Hebron Project Site. 

The GBS platform will be installed in approximately 93 meters water depth. It will be located on the Grand Banks approximately 340km east-southeast from St. John’s Newfoundland, and situated north of the Terra Nova field and southeast of the Hibernia field. 

The GBS has a single main shaft supporting the topsides and encompassing 52 well slots. It will be designed to store a minimum of 1.2 million barrels of crude oil in multiple separate storage compartments. 

Kiewit and Kvaerner are partnered on this multi-billion dollar mega-project to build the GBS structure including the mechanical outfitting of the utility shafts.
