Energy services business GE Oil & Gas has won a £93million deal to provide subsea production and injection equipment for Statoil’s CO2 project.
GE will provide engineering, procurement and construction resources for the carbon dioxide injection project at Statoil’s Snøhvit field.
CO2 is naturally present in the reservoir and is produced with natural gas at the field. The CO2 is separated from the gas onshore before it is pumped back to the reservoir via a dedicated pipeline. The new CO2 injection facilities have been designed to accommodate Statoil’s need for additional injection capacity over the lifetime of the field.
GE will supply Statoil with a subsea system enabling both injection and production wells, having previously provided the subsea production system for the company’s initial production activities in the field.
GE will manufacture the trees in Aberdeen and the control systems at the company’s Nailsea facility. Subsea template and manifold components will be built in Norway, with delivery due during the second quarter of 2015.
“We are excited to collaborate with Statoil on this initiative to extend production activities at the Snøhvit field,” said Rod Christie, CEO—Subsea Systems, GE Oil & Gas.
“We are committed to helping our customers meet their most difficult technical and logistical challenges in developing new and more mature gas fields, ensuring a more sustainable and environmentally friendly development.”
