HOUSTON — Equinor has contracted TechnipFMC to supply the subsea production systems for its Irpa and Verdande field developments in the Norwegian Sea.
Irpa will be tied back via a long-distance pipeline to the Aasta Hansteen production platform, while Verdande will be connected to the Norne FPSO. Both awards are under the two companies’ framework agreement.
For Irpa, TechnipFMC will deliver and install subsea trees, control systems, structures, connections and tooling. For Verdande, the contract covers the complete subsea production system including subsea trees and structures, control systems, connections, tooling and installation support.
Earlier this week, Equinor has awarded a consortium of Subsea7 and DeepOcean contracts for the Irpa and Verdande field developments in the Norwegian Sea. The Irpa contract scope covers engineering, transportation and installation of an MEG pipeline, a production riser, umbilical, subsea structures and tie-ins. The Verdande 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.
