Technip has been awarded a brownfield subsea contract by Dana Petroleum for work in the North Sea.
The agreement is for work on the Triton floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel which is located 193 kilometres east of Aberdeen.
It produces oil and gas from different fields including Bittern, Guillemot West and North West, Clapham, Pict and Saxon, which are tied back to the FPSO vessel via subsea facilities.
Bill Morrice, managing director of Technip in the UK, said: “The scope of the 2015 campaign was defined by Dana and its Triton partners, as a result of a successful detailed riser life extension study executed by Technip in the UK late 2014.
“While Technip closely collaborated with Dana, this study provided the appropriate technical information to allow key decisions to be made and helped shape the 2015 project activity.”
The work by Technip will see them complete project management and engineering which includes the installation of two flexible risers, fabrication and installation of one dynamic umbilical riser, as well as other work.
Colin Taylor, production manager for Dana, said: “This scope is another example of Dana’s ambition to ensure the long term integrity and safety of the Triton FPSO in order to maximize the long term production recovery from the area.”
The work will be carried out by Technip’s operating centre in Aberdeen.
Joint venture partners in Triton are Dana Petroleum (E&P) Limited (51.966%), Shell UK Limited (26.42%), Esso Exploration and Production UK Limited (20%) and Endeavour Energy UK Limited (1.614%).
