Statoil, on behalf of the Johan Sverdrup license, has awarded the contract for decks for both the process and riser platforms to Samsung. The total contract value is approx. EUR 0.78B.
The contract is a fabrication contract (FC) of decks for the process and riser platforms. Aker Solutions has previously been awarded engineering work and purchase of equipment packages for the two aforementioned decks. The function of the process platform, which weighs approx. 26,000t, is to ensure stabilisation of the oil and processing into rich gas. The riser platform, which weighs approx. 22,000t, will serve oil and gas exports, water and gas injection, as well as any future connections. The power cable from onshore also ends at this platform, where the current is transformed from direct current into alternating current for further distribution to the field centre. The platform deck will be manufactured at the Samsung’s shipyard in South Korea.
With this latest award, all contracts for the four platform decks have been awarded. The decks for the drilling platform and accommodation platform have already been awarded to Aibel (EPC) and Kværner Stord (EPC). In addition, 65% of the equipment packages have so far been awarded to suppliers with Norwegian billing addresses.
