Statoil ASA has awarded Ocean Installer a contract for marine operations on the Askeladd project in the Barents Sea, the company said on March 2.
The Askeladd Field will be developed with three wells via two new subsea templates that have space for additional wells in the future.
In addition, infrastructure will be installed to tie-in the Askeladd development to the existing Snøhvit Field facilities. Askeladd is located 35 km (21 miles) south-west of the Snøhvit Field and 175 km (108 miles) from the LNG plant at Melkøya. The water depth is approximately 240 m (787 ft) to 330 m (1,082 ft). The contract is significant in size and will further increase Ocean Installer’s operations in the Barents Sea.
Ocean Installer will be involved with Askeladd throughout the entire development phase, until the field is hooked up to Snøhvit in 2020, with offshore operations planned for the summer seasons of 2019 and 2020.
The project will be managed from Ocean Installer’s Stavanger office and will start immediately.
