Aker Solutions ASA: Giant Goliat sail-away
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
30 March 2012 - Aker Solutions has successfully completed the manufacturing and
subsequent load-out of eight subsea manifolds and six riser bases for Eni
Norge's Goliat project in the Barents Sea.
On Tuesday 27 March the load-out commenced. This weekend, the heavy lift vessel
Happy Dragon will sail away with her giant load.
"This is probably the largest single subsea delivery we have made from Egersund.
I'm proud of my colleagues, and satisfied on behalf of our customer Eni Norge
AS, that we are delivering this on schedule and on budget," says Svein Oskar
Nuland, head of Aker Solutions' yard in Egersund, Norway.
"Our project team at Fornebu and here in Egersund has worked tirelessly to
complete this important milestone".
The delivery of the subsea manifolds and riser bases is the yard's second
hardware load-out for the Goliat subsea project. The first, consisting of eight
subsea templates, was also delivered on schedule when it sailed out of Egersund
at the end of March last year.
Aker Solutions' Goliat contract, signed in September 2009, comprises of
engineering, procurement and construction of a complete subsea production
system. Subsea hardware deliveries include eight overtrawlable four-slot subsea
templates with manifolds, wellheads system, 24 subsea trees, subsea and topside
controls systems, 20 kilometres of steel tube umbilicals, work-over equipment
and a tie-in and connection system.
