2.2.2 Additional Dry Gas Fields

The ADGF tie-back system utilizes two subsea manifolds (Keong and Kijing), tied
back to Hang Tuah by series linked 12” and 14” flowlines. One subsea gas well
(J3) is tied into the Kijing manifold using rigid spool pieces, a total distance of
approximately 27.5 kilometres from Hang Tuah. Three subsea gas wells (K1,
K2 and K3) are tied into the Keong manifold using rigid spool pieces, a distance
of approximately 4.6 kilometres from Hang Tuah. The Keong and Kijing fields
are approximately 22.9 kilometres apart.

An electro-hydraulic umbilical is used to control these wells, which has been


pulled though a J-tube on Hang Tuah. The umbilical is installed as two sections,
each terminated at subsea UTA/IUT assemblies. The first section of umbilical
begins at Hang Tuah and terminates at UTA-1, adjacent to the Keong manifold.
This distance is approximately 4.60 kilometres. This section of umbilical contains
