Norway's Statoil ASA (STO) said Tuesday that on behalf of the
Johan Sverdrup partnership, it has awarded an NOK8 billion contract
to Aibel for construction of the drilling platform deck on the
field.
The contract includes engineering work, procurement and
construction (EPC) of the drilling platform deck, which will be
built at Aibel's yard in Thailand and Haugesund, and at Nymo's yard
in Grimstad.
Assembly and mechanical completion of the deck will be carried
out at Aibel's yard in Haugesund with delivery in 2018.
Installation on the field is planned for the same year.
The Johan Sverdrup partnership consists of Statoil, Lundin
Norway, Petoro, Det norske oljeselskap and Maersk Oil. The
partnership has recommended Statoil as operator for all the field's
phases.
