The Mongstad refinery, situated 70 km north of Bergen, is closely integrated with an oil terminal connected to multiple oilfields in the North Sea. It also interfaces with crude tankers that are docked at the port. The refinery has wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) facilities that are designed to treat water from the refinery, offsite sources, and the oil terminal.
Mongstad plays an important role in the distribution of Norwegian oil and gas, with a long production horizon ahead.
“Equinor’s goal is to reduce emissions significantly from the Mongstad refinery. This matches our aim to enable our customers to increase efficiency and minimize emissions in their operations, and ensure safe and responsible production”, said Paal Eikeseth, executive vice president and head of Aker Solutions’ Life Cycle segment.
Aker Solutions will be in charge of project management, engineering, procurement, construction and installation work, and commissioning in an EPCIC contract.
