Combined contract value is approximately NOK 300 million. Scope of work is six subsea trees, with control systems, for the Visund field, and three subsea trees with controls for the Troll field. Aker Solutions has also delivered subsea equipment to the Visund field since 1997. So far the company has delivered 27 subsea trees to Visund and Visund North. Subsea trees will be manufactured at Aker Solutions' facility in Tranby, Norway, and subsea controls in Aberdeen, UK. Final deliveries will be made Q1 2011. Visund is an oil and gas field located 22 kilometres north-east of the Gullfaks field in the Tampen area of the Norwegian North Sea. The field came on stream in the spring of 1999. Visund North is a separate subsea development about 10 kilometres from the platform. The Troll field lies in the northern part of the North Sea, around 65 kilometres west of Kollsnes, near Bergen. The field contains 60 per cent of total gas reserves on the Norwegian continental shelf and is also one of the largest oil fields on the continental shelf. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
