Thank you for downloading the Hibernia Offshore scenery
(This is my first attempt at designing scenery I hope it works well on any PC).
Hibernia Offshore was designed using GMAX.
Hibernia offshore oil platform is located in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin,
170nm, 315km east of St John's, Newfoundland, Canada in water 80m deep.
The completed platform was towed to the Hibernia oil field and positioned
on the ocean floor in June of 1997 and began producing oil on November 17, 1997.
The platform stands 224 metres high, which is half the height of New York's
Empire State Building (449 metres) and 33 metres taller than the Calgary Tower (191 metres).
The heliport is home base for all helicopter traffic to and from the Hibernia platform.
The heliport houses three Super Puma helicopters (with room for two more),
Cougar's corporate offices, a training area, a passenger movement area,
a Hibernia satellite office, a safety suit issuance and holding area,
and a privately-owned travel agency office. Cougar has also invested in an
alternate landing site in Long Pond, Conception Bay, in case of bad weather in St. John's.
The heliport initially catered to Hibernia, but an overcapacity was built
into the facility to serve the entire east coast offshore oil industry.
For example, the facility is now servicing Terra Nova's drilling operations offshore.
As other oil fields come into development, they too can utilize the
heliport and other infrastructure built for Hibernia,
resulting in reduced costs through shared services.
VOR/DME has been tested and appears to be operational, and shows up in the MSFS2004
default GPS.(Hibernia was test using FS2004 however it MAY work in FS2002).
