Multiconsult Norge, Aker Solutions and LINK Arkitektur will jointly perform engineering services for Equinor for the electrification of multiple oil and gas installations offshore Norway.

These are located in the Halten, Tampen and Grane Balder areas of the Norwegian Sea and North Sea.

The pre-FEED/FEED contract also contains options for detailed engineering, follow-on work, procurement assistance and construction supervision, with a potential value of $52.64 million.

All work is due to be completed by 2030.

Activities include engineering of the associated onshore grid connections, transmission lines, onshore cabling, three substations and landfalls.

The electrification projects remain in an early phase, Multiconsult said, with various tasks to complete before the field partnerships can take FID. It would then be up to the Norwegian authorities to approve the projects.
