THE Norwegian arm of Italian energy major Eni has awarded Technip an engineering, procurement, construction and installation contract for the Goliat field worth about $300milion.
Goliat will be the first Norwegian oil-producing field north of the Arctic Circle in the Barents Sea. It is located some 85km north-west of the Norwegian coastal city of Hammerfest.
The lump-sum contract includes supply and installation of the infield pipeline systems, including flexible risers, clad production flowlines complete with direct heating systems, water and gas-injection flowlines.
The contract also comprises the installation of the company-provided subsea production system, which will include umbilicals, templates and riser bases.
