Eni Norge signed a three-year frame agreement with mechanical engineering group EnerMech to provide lifting and inspection services on the Goliat FPSO project.
In addition to general lifting and inspection services, the mechanical engineering group will also provide loose lifting equipment, lifting equipment, competency inspection, cargo transport equipment, elevators and personnel lifting equipment. It is the first time Aberdeen-based EnerMech has worked on behalf of Eni Norge. The company will open a facility in Hammerfest to service the contract, which is for three years with a 2+2 years extension option. Trond Møller, EnerMech general manager in Norway, said, “EnerMech believes that to provide a responsive, flexible service to clients, we must have a strong local presence and the new facility in Hammerfest will fulfil that requirement, with back up from our Bergen and Stavanger operations.
Goliat is the first oil field to be developed in the Barents Sea and will use a cylindrical production facility, the Sevan 1000 FPSO, to access an estimated 174 million barrels of oil and 8 bcm of gas.
