Technip has won an umbilical contract for Statoil’s Oseberg Vestflanken 2 field offshore Norway.
The field is located eight kilometers North West of the Oseberg field center at block 30/9-30/6 on the Norwegian continental shelf, at water depths of 100 meters.
Technip’s team in Newcastle will manage the project, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2017.
Sarah Cridland, managing director of Technip Umbilicals, said: “As a company we have invested significantly in our Newcastle facility and it is encouraging to see the award of contracts, such as Oseberg, from this. This is an extremely important recognition to Technip Umbilicals from Statoil.”
The contract covers project management, engineering and manufacture of more than nine kilometers of static steel tube umbilical. The umbilical includes a large bore integrated service line and multiple power cables.
