Aker Solutions has been awarded a USD 60 million contract by Statoil to deliver six subsea trees and a tools package for the operator’s Troll field off Norway.

ABB has won an order worth approximately USD 270 million from Statoil to provide an electric drive system for two new pre-compression units. The units will be used to improve production capacity and extend the lifespan of the world’s largest natural gas platform in the North Sea.

Aker Solutions has received a contract from Statoil, to conduct the topside FEED (front-end engineering and design) study at the Mariner field on the UK continental shelf in the North Sea. The contract is valued at approximately NOK 125 million.

Xodus Group will plan and carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for Statoil’s potential pilot park for the world’s first full-scale floating wind turbine. The Hywind turbine is based on the Hywind Demo prototype, which has been tested with success by Statoil in Norway more than a year. An area located off the North-east coast of Scotland will be appraised as a prospective candidate for a possible first pilot park of up to five units, generating renewable electricity offshore.

Nexans has received a EUR 20 million contract from Statoil to design and manufacture the direct electrical heating system for the subsea pipelines serving the new Fossekall Dompap oil and gas field. Located on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the Fossekall Dompap fields tie back to the Norne FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) where Nexans previously provided DEH systems for pipelines to Urd and Alve.
