| Aker Solutions awarded Marulk tie-in to Norne in Mid Norway Statoil has awarded to Aker Solutions Marulk tie-in to the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Norne. Aker Solutions estimates the value of the work to be approximately NOK 120 million. The Marulk field is located in the Norwegian Sea approximately 30 kilometers southwest of the Norne field at a water depth of 365 meters in the PL122. The initial development will consist of two wells tied back to the Norne FPSO, the northernmost production facility on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The scope of the project is to facilitate Norne FPSO for installation and start-up of the Marulk template. The execution phase is based on a front end engineering design (FEED) study performed by Aker Solutions. In order to accommodate for a tie-back of Marulk at Norne topside a new flowline will be hooked up to both the production and the test manifold. The Marulk Tie-in to Norne is an amendment to an existing modifications contract Aker Solutions has with Statoil for Norne. Work under the contract starts immediately and the project will be completed in March 2012. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
