Statoil will sign a contract with Aibel for work on the Johan Sverdrup field worth NOK 8 billion.
The agreement includes engineering work, procurement and construction (EPC) on the drilling platform deck.
The platform deck will be built at the Aibel’s yard in Thailand and Haugesand and at Nymo’s yard in Grimstad.
Arne Sigve Nylund, executive vice president of development and production Norway said: “The Johan Sverdrup field is one of the biggest discoveries on the Norwegian continental shelf that will, for its entire lifetime, be a pillar for Norwegian industry and value creation for the Norwegian society.
“On behalf of the partnership we are looking forward to a close cooperation with Aibel in order to ensure a safe and efficient delivery of this project.”
