Aker Solutions has won an order from Wintershall Norge AS to provide the subsea production system, umbilicals and services for the Nova oil and gas field offshore Norway, highlighting the value of early engagement in projects.
The system will consist of two templates with manifolds, seven subsea trees including one spare, umbilicals and associated tie-in and controls equipment for Nova. The order includes installation and commissioning support services.
Work for Nova starts immediately and involves Aker Solutions' facilities in Norway, the UK and Malaysia. Final deliveries are scheduled for 2019 and 2020.

Nova has total recoverable reserves of 80 million barrels of oil equivalent. The field is expected to come on stream in 2021. Nova will be tied back to the Gjøa platform, which is about 60 km west of Florø in northwestern Norway.
The companies have not disclosed the value of the contract.
