Aker Solutions has been awarded a sizeable contract by Equinor to prepare the topside of Troll C to receive and process the production from the Fram Sør subsea tie-in project.
Fram Sør will be developed as a subsea tie-in to Troll C and will utilise the existing processing capacity on the platform. The area is located 20 km north of the Troll C platform.
The tieback requires modifications to the topside of the Troll C platform. The scope includes engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC), as well as services for the new subsea templates.
Aker Solutions has carried out the front-end engineering and design (FEED) for the project, led by its office in Bergen.
Project management, detailed engineering, procurement, and shop engineering will be handled by the Bergen and Mumbai offices. Fabrication will take place at the company’s yard in Egersund.
The project will commence right away, with production scheduled to start at the end of 2029.
