Aker lands Norne tie-in deal



By Upstream staff 

StatoilHydro has awarded Aker Solutions a contract for topside modifications work for the tie-in of the M-template to the Norne floating production storage offloading vessel for Nkr50 million ($9.9 million).

A new subsea template will be installed in the south sector of the Norne reservoir, in the Halten-Nordland area off Norway, to increase production.

The template will be connected both to the existing subsea infrastructure and to the Norne platform through a dedicated flowline and production riser.

The contract covers all topside modification work at the Norne to facilitate tie-in of the new production riser.

Design and procurement work will start immediately, while fabrication work is planned to start January next year.

Offshore installation activities will start early next year with project completion and start-up due in November.
