Statoil has selected Wood Group for the detailed design scope of the subsea tieback from the Utgard gas and condensate field to the Sleipner facilities in the Norwegian North Sea, Wood Group said in a news release.

The $1 million work scope is the first call off under the master service agreement (MSA) signed in May 2016. Wood Group said the three-year contract will be executed from its Stavanger and Oslo offices.

The Utgard tieback consists of a 21 km long pipe-in-pipe production pipeline from the 4-slot template at Utgard to the Sleipner T platform and an integrated service umbilical from the Sleipner A, the release said.

Earlier this year, Statoil tapped Wood Group for FEED work for the same project.
