Statoil has awarded Kværner the contract for the Johan Castberg topsides. The contract includes the construction and installation of the topside structure for the floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) to be located on the Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea. The contract has a total value of about NOK 3.8B. The development work will take place at several yards along the Norwegian coast.
Kværner will utilise a number of yards along the Norwegian coast for the construction work. Yards in Sandnessjøen, Verdal, Stord and Egersund will all be used.
The construction work is scheduled to last until 2021, followed by a complex assembly period. In this period the topside structure will be installed on the hull and connected to the turret. First oil from the field is scheduled for the first half of 2022.
Johan Castberg will be the sixth project on stream in Northern Norway. The field has been important to the further development of the oil and gas industry in the north.
