STAVANGER, Norway – Statoil has awarded two contracts for its Trestakk subsea tieback in the Norwegian Sea.
Trestakk is an oil and associated gas field located in block 6406/3, production license PL091, 27 km (16.8 mi) southeast of theÅsgard A production vessel in a water depth of around 300 m (984 ft).
TheFMC Technologies/Technip alliance secured an engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract, based on an optimized subsea field layout that arose from a front-end engineering and design study (FEED) by the FMC/Technip joint venture Forsys Subsea.
Technip will supply the flexible riser, production flowline, gas injection line, flexible jumpers, and umbilicals.
FMC Technologies will provide the subsea production system, comprising subsea trees and completion system, manifold, wellheads, subsea and topsides control systems, and tie-in hardware and tools.
FMC Technologies President and CEO Doug Pferdehirt said: “This award demonstrates that our alliance with Technip can deliver real benefits to customers by integrating our products, systems, and services.
“It shows that customers are embracing a new way of doing business that involves engaging with us early through integrated FEED studies that can lead to integrated EPCI projects.”
Technip Chairman and CEO Thierry Pilenko said: “Our value proposition builds on early involvement and integrated solutions. Through earlier and broader vision on projects, we can simplify subsea field architectures and thus help our clients to significantly improve project economics.”
Aker Solutions in Trondheim will modify the topsides at Åsgard A to receive oil and gas from Trestakk. The work will consist mainly of piping to connect the well stream to the vessel, and upgrading of the metering systems.
Elsewhere in the region, Statoil has received approval from Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority consent to drill an exploration well in block 6608/10 and an optional side track on theCape Vulture prospect.
The semisubmeribleDeepsea Beregen will spud the 6608/10-17 S well in 375 m (1,230 ft) of water this month. Drilling could last 49 days if the initial result justifies the side track.
