Double win for Technip in Norway

Statoil has awarded Technip two lump sum contracts for infield pipeline construction on the Johan Sverdrup Development and the Oseberg Vestflanken 2 projects.

Discovered in 2011, the Johan Sverdrup field is one of the largest oil fields in the North Sea. The first development phase is targeted to be on-stream in 2019.

The Oseberg Vestflanken 2 project is a development of the oil and gas structures Alfa, Gamma and Kappa, about 8km northwest of the Oseberg field center.

The contracts awarded to Technip cover:

  • fabrication and installation of 29km of plastic-lined 16in water injection flowlines for Johan Sverdrup,
  • fabrication and installation of 7.5km of 14in production pipeline and 9km of 10in gas injection pipeline for Oseberg Vestflanken 2.

While both projects will be executed by Technip’s operating center in Lysaker, Norway, the group will leverage its unique subsea integrated approach from fabrication to installation. 

The flowlines will be welded and fabricated at the Technip spoolbase in Orkanger, Norway, installation will be carried out by Technip’s state-of-the-art reel-lay vessel Deep Energy, during the second half of 2017.

Odd Strømsnes, Managing Director of Technip in Norway, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded these two prestigious contracts by Statoil in a very competitive business environment. This demonstrates Technip’s leading position in fabrication and installation of complex flowlines. We are looking forward to execute these projects collaboratively with Statoil in order to achieve the project goals.”
