Equinor enlists Ocean Installer for SURF EPCI work on $1.1 billion Troll project offshore Norway
(WO) – Ocean Installer has been chosen by Equinor and its partners in the Troll A license as the SURF contractor for their new 12 billion NOK ($1.13 billion) investment in the Troll Phase 3 – Stage 2 Project.
This SURF EPCI contract includes a substantial fabrication scope and offshore work over three years, with the first campaign beginning in 2025. Ocean Installer has also secured a separate contract for replacing a 4 km, 10” flexible flowline at the Troll B field in 2025.
Stage 2 of the Troll Phase 3 project includes eight new wells from two new templates, with subsea controls extended from existing templates. A new 36” gas flowline will be laid as a tie-back to the Troll A platform, and the project will also perform modification work on Troll A.
The EPCI contract covers the fabrication and installation of four large pipeline termination structures for the 36” gas flowline, five 20” spools, a subsea pig launcher and receiver (PLR), 6 km of 4.5” MEG Line and protection covers.
The work also covers the installation of a subsea production system and umbilicals from OneSubsea. Trenching and pre-commissioning is also part of the scope of work.
Engineering work has already started at Ocean Installer’s offices in Stavanger and Oslo. Most of the fabrication will be awarded to Norwegian subcontractors.
“The Troll Phase 3 – Stage 2 project is a perfect match with our capabilities, and we are excited to deliver this project in close collaboration with Equinor and our locally based fabrication partners. This award shows that our clients continue to rely on usfor large, complex and production critical projects. Moreover, the Troll B Flowline Replacement award demonstrates the range of projects we can help our clients with – from big EPCIs to smaller T&I projects,” said Ocean Installer CEO Kevin Murphy.
