AGR digs in at Ormen Lange
Norway's StatoilHydro has exercised an option with AGR Group to extend the use
of AGR's excavation technology, Claycutter X, at Ormen Lange gas field.
The Claycutter X will have a range of excavation modes which can be
interchanged subsea depending on the environment encountered. It is
controlled remotely and incorporates hands-free operation on deck and remote
operation of all subsea systems.
At Ormen Lange it will be used in conjunction with AGR's Seavator, which uses
a high volume vertical flow of sea water to clear debris.
Prior to the exercise of the option the contract was estimated at Nkr87
million ($16 million), and is now worth Nkr147 million.
The offshore work period also estimated to double from 32 days to 64 days.
