Key contract awarded for Equinor’s Rosebank development

Equinor will use Altera Infrastructure’s Petrojarl Knarr floating production, storage and offloading vessel to develop its Rosebank oil and gas discovery in the UK West of Shetland region after signing a key contract with the Norwegian floating production contractor.

"We can confirm that we, on behalf of the Rosebank partners, have signed a FEED agreement for redeployment of Petrojarl Knarr with Altera," an Equinor spokesman told Upstream on Wednesday.

Multiple sources also told Upstream that Altera is days away from awarding Aker Solutions a contract to perform the front-end engineering and design aspects of the contract.
