Aker Solutions will deliver modules for the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel for the Statoil-operated Johan Castberg development.
The Johan Castberg development is the largest oil discovery in the Norwegian Barents Sea.
Modules and Flare Boom
The work for Aker has a value of about 46.4 million euros. The company will deliver two modules for water and chemical injection from its yard in Egersund on the west coast of Norway, while its facility in Sandnessjøen in northern Norway will supply smaller modules and a flare boom.
Involvement in Johan Castberg Development
Aker Solutions is making the deliveries as a subcontractor of Kvaerner, which announced a contract with Statoil for delivery of the topside modules for the Johan Castberg FPSO, as well as hook-up and integration of the topside modules with the hull.
Aker Solutions has been directly involved in the Johan Castberg development since its earliest phases, from front-end studies through to full front-end engineering design work. In December, the company won contracts from Statoil to supply the subsea production system for Johan Castberg and design the FPSO's topside. It also secured an order from Sembcorp Marine to design the FPSO's living quarters.
