Dec 12 (LNGJ) - The Europe-based offshore development company Subsea 7 SA has been awarded a contract by Aker BP for the Aerfugl Phase 2 natural gas field development, located about 210 kilometres west of Sandnessjoen in the Norwegian Sea. Norway is one of the largest pipeline natural gas suppliers to Western Europe, along with Russian company Gazprom, and both sources compete with LNG shipments.
The Subsea 7 engineering, procurement, construction and installation contact is a long-distance tie-back involving the application of Subsea 7’s Electrically Heat Traced Flowline (EHTF) technology for a distance of 13.5km from the subsea location to the existing Skarv infrastructure. Subsea 7 has a long-term subsea alliance agreement with Aker BP.
“This award acknowledges Subsea 7 as a key partner in the delivery of pioneering technology, underlining our proven track record of safe and successful project execution in some of the harshest offshore environments,” said Monica Th. Bjokmann, Vice President of Subsea 7 Norway.
