[Narrator]

Built in 2001, Malampaya provides enough energy to meet around 20% of Philippines’ electricity demand. It’s the largest and most significant industrial investment in the history of the Philippines.

We’re the only ones here in the Philippines so if we do not supply natural gas, there’s no one to take over.

[Video footage]

Footage of workmen in safety gear standing on one platform and looking towards frame-right. The shot pans to the second platform at frame-right.

Close-up of Albert standing on the platform.

[Narrator]

It has generated billions of dollars in revenue for the national government and reduced energy imports. And it delivers a more stable supply of cleaner energy in the form of natural gas. The gas is piped from the platform onshore and used as fuel in power stations, producing electricity.

[Video footage]

Cut to beauty shots of Malampaya, then to footage of the busy streets of the city.

Wide shot of workmen in safety gear working on the platform, cutting to underwater footage of the platform and back to footage of the city skyline and streets.

[Albert]

We employ deep water technology. Basically it’s harnessing natural gas in deeper waters. There’s more complex drilling, subsea facilities, and subsea technology that’s being employed.

[Video footage]

Close-up of Albert standing on the platform cutting to CGI imagery of the platform and pipeline beneath the surface. A white line and text indicates the depth at 820 metres. CGI imagery shows further detail in the subsea facilities.

[Narrator]

In order to extract gas in such challenging conditions, Shell first built a shallow water platform 14 years ago. 50 kilometres out at sea with strong currents and typhoon winds, one issue was stability. And one way to overcome this, was weight. It sits on the sea floor, weighing around 13,000 tonnes, or more than 7,000 average-sized cars.

[Video footage]

Footage of the platforms and the ocean, including underwater shots of the platform.

Albert]

The weight is a factor of being able to accommodate all this equipment into such a compressed area as well as also to keep the facilities stable, sitting on top of the seabed.

[Video footage]

Close-up of Albert standing on the platform cutting to CGI imagery of the subsea facilities.

[Narrator]

The Malampaya shallow-water platform has produced gas for the last 14 years, but as the pressure of the reservoir fell over time the gas produced wasn’t high pressure enough for the onshore network. A second platform was built alongside the first to compress the gas.

[Video footage]

Footage of the platforms and the ocean, including underwater shots of the platform as well as close-ups of various above water parts of the platform.

[Sebastian]

This time it was really different type of technology. Quite novel. It actually is a barge with legs. So picture a barge that’s floating in water, when it reach this particular area, the legs then drop down, and then the barge went up and it became a platform. This is the first self-installing type of platform that use this technology. So we are again ground-breaking here.

[Video footage]

Fast motion shots of the construction and floating out of the platform, interspersed with CGI imagery of the platform being floated out to sea.

Close-up of Sebastian as previously described, cutting to more footage of the platform being floated out. CGI imagery shows how the legs drop down to the seabed and the floating structure rises to form the platform.

Fast motion shots of the platform in the ocean as it is self-installed.

[Albert]

So at the back here you can see the Malampaya Shallow Water platform. Now where we are is the Depletion Compression platform.

[Video footage]

Close-up of Albert standing on the platform and gesturing to the Malampaya shallow water platform and cutting to footage of the depletion compression platform.

[Narrator]

In extreme weather, these platforms move more than a metre in all directions, so all the pipework running across the bridge has to be flexible and keep working, even when the structures are moving.

[Video footage]

Footage of trees blowing in strong wind and dark clouds racing above the ocean, cutting to high angle view of the legs and pipes of the platform where they meet the water.

Footage of the pipework running across the bridge, cutting to a low angle shot of two workmen in safety gear crossing the bridge, and then to underwater footage of the platform.

[Sebastian]

In the ocean, the foundations aren’t that steady. So what we had to do was that we had to bring in 40,000 tonnes of rocks and level out the bottom of the sea where the Depletion Compression Platform would be installed. We had to really make sure that that particular area was stable so that the new platform that’s there would not sink

[Narrator]

The piping and structural designs are built to survive 100-year storms, and 1000-year earthquakes. And these get tested every year. With new technology, Malampaya extends the power supply for the country, keeping the lights on in the Philippines for years to come and playing its role in the global energy system.

Title: Access to Energy

Duration: 4:57 minutes

Description:

A local tribe benefits from the expertise and resources provided by the Malampaya Deepwater Gas-to-Power Project

Shell’s Access to Energy initiative aims to bring power to remote communities by installing renewable energy systems, making use of the local natural resources, such as solar and hydro. Experts from the Shell Philippines Exploration and the Pilipinas Shell Foundation set out to help the Batak tribes people, close to the Philippines’ primary offshore energy project, the Malampaya gas field, to build the infrastructure their remote village needs.
