LYSAKER, Norway – Nymo has cut first steel in Grimstad for a 1,000-metric ton monoethylene glycol (MEG) module for Aker BP’s Valhall PWP-Fenris project in the southern Norwegian North Sea.
This will treat MEG recycled in subsea pipelines between the new PWP platform to be installed on the Valhall Field and the Fenris (ex-King Lear) Field 50 km away to prevent formation of hydrates in the pipes.
Primary supplier NOV has signed a letter of intent with Nymo to build the MEG module in Grimstad.
In addition, Nymo will construct the bridge that will connect the new Valhall PWP platform to the existing Valhall Field center at its facility at Eydehavn in Arendal.
Aker Solutions placed the contract for the structure, which will be more than 100 m long with a weight of about 1,200 metric tons.
Valhall PWP-Fenris, with an estimated cost of about NOK50 billion ($4.76 billion), includes a new unmanned installation at Fenris that will be linked to the PWP through seabed equipment and pipelines. The two developments should start up in the second or third quarter of 2027.
