Ocean Installer Scoops Major Subsea Contract for Equinor’s Troll Gas Field
Ocean Installer has secured the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract for subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) scope from Equinor and its partners for the second stage of the Troll Phase 3 gas development offshore Norway.This SURF EPCI contract, worth over $95 million (NOK 1 billion), includes a substantial fabrication scope and offshore work over three years, with the first campaign beginning in 2025.The contract award follows the decision from Equinor and the Troll partners to invest just over $1.13 billion (NOK 12 billion) to further develop the gas
Shearwater in 'Pioneering' Seismic Survey Project Offshore Norway
Norway was approved by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in June.OMV submitted the plan to the Norwegian authorities on behalf of the Norwegian Sea license partners in December 2022. The Berling was previously known as the Iris Hades discoveries."Berling is one of our key natural gas development projects and is geared to increase the share of natural gas in our portfolio as outlined in OMV’s Strategy 2030. The gas and condensate volumes are expected to further strengthen Norway’s position as an important European supplier of natural gas,” Berislav Gaso, Executive Vice
Record Year for PanGeo Subsea's Acoustic Corer
cores were migrated into a single high-resolution 3D acoustic volumetric data set, identifying buried infrastructure at depths up to 60 meters below the mudline. Following the completion of the US project, the AC was mobilized to a site in the Dutch North Sea, where it surveyed seven locations for a gas development, Kraken Robotics said.This survey was to locate and image buried boulders greater than 0.5 meters within the sub-seabed and map the depth of lithological boundaries, correlating them with geotechnical properties. The AC is currently deployed to the Baltic Sea, surveying 30 locations at a wind
GOM Geotechnical Coring Program Completed for NOAA OER Expedition
to help answer questions about areas of the continental shelf that were once exposed as dry land.Throughout time, global sea level has risen and fallen, alternately covering and exposing the land. Today, the Gulf of Mexico is largely known for its shrimping, fishing, and extensive offshore oil and gas development, but evidence of the earliest Gulf coast inhabitants could be preserved, buried under sediment and sea. But on a continental shelf where approximately 40 million acres could have been dry land in the last 12,000 years, where do you start looking?”The NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and
Fugro Inspecting Cygnus Subsea Structures
;s southern North Sea.Under the contract awarded by oil and gas company Neptune Energy, Fugro will inspect subsea infrastructure including pipelines and umbilicals, spools and communication cables, and carry out standard structural surveys of the Neptune-operated Cygnus gas platform jackets.The giant gas development was brought online in late 2016 and consists of four platforms. Neptune operates Cygnus with 38.75% stake, with Spirit Energy owning 61.25%.Fugro will deploy Remotely Operated Vehicles from the Edda Sun vessel to carry out the inspection work.

Aker Solutions, Equinor Sign LoI for Askeladd Subsea System
Norway's Aker Solutions has received a letter of intent from Equinor to deliver the subsea production system for the Askeladd Vest natural gas development in the Barents Sea in northern Norway.The development of Askeladd Vest is phase two of the multi-phased Snøhvit gas development in the Barents Sea."We are pleased to extend the series of deliveries to Equinor under the NCS 2017+ framework agreement," said Luis Araujo, chief executive officer of Aker Solutions. He said: "The Askeladd Vest subsea production system is based on our standard technology and products currently
