An oil worker who helped oversee construction of BP’s Clair Ridge and Equinor’s giant Aasta Hansteen installation is now building up a new mental health platform for the industry.
Oil giant Statoil - soon to be Equinor - outline the journey that the Aasta Hansteen topside will take as the giant SPAR platform is towed out to the Stord field.
The 24,000 tonne topside for the Aasta Hansteen gas platform arrived in Norway after a 14,500 nautical mile long journey. That’s equivalent to nearly 26,900 km, or more than 640 marathons!
Statoil has released jaw-dropping footage of the substructure for its Aasta Hansteen platform being loaded onto the world’s largest heavy transport vessel, Dockwise Vanguard.
Wintershall’s success with its Maria project proves the company wasn’t crazy to take it on, according to the firm’s executive director of exploration and production in Europe.
Statoil's Aasta Hansteen field will be run from Harstad, the firm's new Operations North organisation. This incredible timelapse shows what it take to build a Norwegian first.
