Statoil has chosen to stick with Aker Solutions for engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) services to enable a tie-in of the Utgard gas and condensate field to the Statoil-operated Sleipner facilities in the North Sea.
The work, valued at about NOK 500 million (US$ 6.1 million), follows a contract won for preliminary engineering work on the tie-in. The contract had an option for EPCIC work, Aker Solutions said.
“We’ve worked closely with Statoil to find the most cost-efficient solution for this project, which builds on our capabilities in complex modifications,” said Knut Sandvik, head of Aker Solutions' maintenance, modifications and operations business.
The Utgard subsea development will be connected by pipeline to the Sleipner T processing and CO2 removal platform and by umbilical to the Sleipner A processing, drilling and living quarters platform, Aker said.
Work on the contract is scheduled for completion in fourth-quarter 2019.
