LUXEMBOURG/OSLO, Norway — Equinor has awarded a consortium of Subsea7 and DeepOcean contracts for the Irpa and Verdande field developments in the Norwegian Sea.
Irpa, in 1,350 m water depth, is a planned subsea tieback of about 80 km to the Aasta Hansteen spar platform. The contract scope covers engineering, transportation and installation of an MEG pipeline, a production riser, umbilical, subsea structures and tie-ins.
Verdande, in the Nordland Ridge area, will be connected to the existing Skuld Field and Norne FPSO facilities. Here, the scope includes engineering, transportation and installation of a 7.5-km pipe-in-pipe production pipeline, umbilical, flexibles, subsea structures and tie-ins.
Subsea7 will handle project management and engineering in Stavanger and fabrication of the pipelines at its spoolbase at Vigra, Norway.
Offshore operations in 2024, 2025 and 2026 will employ Subsea7 and DeepOcean vessels.
DeepOcean estimates its share of the contracts at more than $60 million.
