Technip was awarded a lump sum contract for pipelay and subsea installations for the Snøhvit CO2 Solution project by Statoil. Snøhvit field is located about 140km north-west of Hammerfest, Norway. The project will establish an additional well at a new CO2 injection template, as well as prepare for gas production from existing templates. The contract covers fabrication and installation of flowlines, including two 5km, 13% chrome, stainless steel production flowlines and a 5km CO2 injection flowline; installation and tie-ins of spools, jumpers and umbilicals; and installation of a new combined production and injection template and manifold. The flowlines will be welded at Technip’s spoolbase in Orkanger, Norway, while installation will be performed by the Apache II in the first half of 2015. Installation of the associated umbilicals, template, manifold, spools and other subsea equipment will be performed by other Technip vessels.
