DEA has awarded the engineering, procurement, construction and installation contract for the smaller structures and pipelines as well as the subsea installation work of the Dvalin development offshore Norway to Technip.
The contract includes the fabrication of smaller structures, the 12/16in pipe-in-pipe production flowline, the 12in gas export pipeline and the installation of pipelines as well as all subsea structures and umbilical for the Dvalin field.
Dvalin, in the Norwegian Sea, will be developed with a four wells subsea template, which is connected to the Heidrun platform. At Heidrun, the gas will be partly processed in a new module, before the gas is transported in a new export pipeline to Polarled, going to the Nyhamna onshore gas terminal. At Nyhamna, the gas will be processed and transported to the European market.
The development cost is estimated to $1.23 billion (NOK10 billion), with planned production start in 2020.
“The Dvalin license has awarded contracts with a value of US$550,000 million over the past days. These contracts will create hundreds of jobs in a demanding time for the supplier industry”, says Hans-Hermann Andreae, Managing Director of DEA Norge.
Later in the project phase, several other contracts will be awarded, among others a contract for the drilling of four production wells.
Recoverable reserves of the Dvalin field are estimated to around 18.2 billion cubic metres gas and 0.4 million cubic metres of condensate. The field is in PL435, blocks 6507/7/9 and 6507/8 in the Norwegian Sea, about 15km north west of Heidrun and 290km from Nyhamna in Mid-Norway.
