a 450mm diameter gas pipeline and a 150mm diameter oil/LPG pipeline connect Barracouta platform to landfall and from there extend onshore for 24.5 & 30.6 km respectively to Esso's onshore processing facility at Longford. Ingram laid the subsea pipelines to designated beach tie-in points.

I just posted my recollections about this jetbarge. The A frame supports the hose which was connected to a Georgia? Pump (I think that is what we called it.) The hose went down to a jet sled with a series of angled nozzles so that the pumped water would excavate a trench under the pipe on the sea bed thus allowing the pipe to settle into said trench. I was on board the jet barge for 1 night with the engineer who was tasked with making the system work. We had all sorts of problems with the pump which kept breaking down.
