Oil services firm Aibel is to provide topside engineering work for the new floating production and storage unit which will serve the Catcher North Sea field.
The Norwegian firm will provide detailed engineering services for more than 7800 tonnes of topside modues for the FPSO to serve Premier Oil’s multi-billion pound project.
The field, which is expected to get the go-ahead from the Department of Energy and Climate Change within the next few weeks, is thought to contain around 80million barrels of oil.
Earlier this month it was announced that BW Offshore would provide the FPSO for the field, which is being developed in partnership with Cairn Energy and Hungarian firm MOL.
Aibel will run topside services for the vessel from its Singapore facility, after having previously performed front end engineering pwork on the project alongside BW Offshore.
“We are very pleased to continue our good relationship with BW Offshore in Singapore,” said Aibel vice president Nick Routledge.
“We look forward to continue to support BW Offshore in the future.”
