Statoil has awarded Aker Solutions a contract for the supply of deepwater umbilicals for the operator’s deepwater Aasta Hansteen field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The contract value is approximately NOK 280m (US $51m), with Aker’s workscope to include the design, engineering and manufacturing of dynamic and static umbilicals, a riser base and ancillary equipment, said the contractor.
The steel tube umbilicals will be manufactured and delivered out of the company’s facility in Moss, Norway supported by project management, design and engineering in Fornebu, also in Norway. The umbilical riser base will be manufactured at another Aker facility in Egersund, Norway.
“The Aasta Hansteen field represents an important milestone in harsh environment development on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Aker Solutions is proud to be part of this major project and we look forward to safeguarding valuable infrastructure and securing production success,” said Tove Røskaft, head of Aker Solutions’ umbilicals business.
Aasta Hansteen is made up of three field structures – Luva, Haklang and Snefrid South – and lies in a water depth of 1,300 m (4,265 ft). The structures are located 300 km west of Bodø and 140 km north of the nearest existing offshore infrastructure on the Norne field.
