Technip was awarded by Statoil ASA an important(1) lump sum contract for pipelay and subsea installations for the Sn酶hvit CO2 Solution project. The Sn酶hvit field is located approximately 140 kilometers north-west of Hammerfest in Norway, in the Arctic Circle, and has been in operation since 2007, following the successful installation of the subsea infrastructure by Technip.
The production of natural gas of this field is based on CO2 being separated at the Melk酶ya onshore plant and re-injected into the field. The Sn酶hvit project development will establish an additional well at a new CO2 injection template(2) as well as prepare for gas production from existing templates.
This contract covers:
- fabrication and installation of flowlines(3), including two 5-kilometer 13% chrome stainless steel production flowline and a 5-kilometer CO2 injection flowline,
- installation and tie-ins of spools, jumpers and umbilicals(4),
- installation of a new combined production and injection template and manifold(5).
It will be executed by Technip鈥檚 operating center in Oslo, Norway. The flowline will be welded at Technip鈥檚 spoolbase in Orkanger, Norway, while installation will be performed by the Apache II in the first half of 2015. Installation of the associated umbilicals, template, manifold, spools and other subsea equipment will be performed by vessels from Technip鈥檚 fleet.
Odd Str酶msnes, Managing Director of Technip in Norway, stated: "This award confirms Technip's leading position as the contractor of choice for marine installation projects in the Arctic. It also demonstrates our unique abilities when it comes to the fabrication and complex reeling of larger diameter stainless steel flowlines."
