STAVANGER, Norway– Equinor has contracted Ocean Installer for the mooring installation, tow out, and hook-up of the Johan Castberg FPSO in the Barents Sea.
The company’s new scope will be carried out in combination with the marine operations contract it was awarded in February 2018.
CEO Olav Haugland said: “This is Ocean Installer’s first FPSO tow out and we sincerely appreciate the trust Equinor shows in our mooring capabilities by awarding us yet another large scope. This award is another significant step towards Ocean Installer’s goal of providing full field development solutions for our customers.”
The company will start engineering work immediately and the project will continue until the FPSO unit begins to produce in 2022. The offshore mooring pre-installation work will be carried out in 2020. The FPSO tow out and hook-up scope will be executed in 2022 and will be supported by Global Maritime. The marine operations project scope will be carried out in all offshore seasons from 2019-2022.
The project will be executed from its headquarters in Stavanger.
