Wood Group, Fugro win Norway processing contracts from Gassco, Statoil
Wood Group has been awarded a contract by Statoil, on behalf of Gassco, for engineering modifications and upgrades to its Kollsnes process plant, west of Bergen, Norway.
Estimated value of the contract, including options and procurement, is more than $61 million (NOK500 million).
Contract scope includes FEED, procurement and management assistance to expand plant capacity and engineering, procurement and management assistance to update the electrical, instrumentation and control systems.
Wood Group Mustang Norway started work earlier this month on the project, which will last through 2017.
The Kollsnes plant processes natural gas from the Troll, Kvitebjørn and Visund fields in the North Sea and currently provides almost 40% of Norwegian gas deliveries. These modifications will expand its capacity to accommodate increased production from the Kvitebjorn platform in the North Sea.
When modifications are complete the Kollsnes facility will be one of the largest gas processing plants in the world, with capacity to process 144.5 MMcmgd, and will help to ensure the commitments Statoil has of gas deliveries to Europe.
The Kollsnes plant is owned by Gassled. Gassco is the operator and Statoil is the technical service provider.
Statoil and Gassco also awarded the 2015 annual pipeline inspection contract for the project to Fugro. That contract covers the inspection of defined sections of subsea pipelines between Norway and continental Europe.
