TechnipFMC said it has been awarded a significant engineering, procurement, construction, and installation contract by Wintershall Dea Norge AS for its Dvalin North project.
TechnipFMC considers a contract significant when it is between US$75 million and US$250 million.
The contract covers the design, engineering, manufacture, and installation of pipe for the Dvalin North field, which will be tied back to the Heidrun Platform via the existing Dvalin field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
Jonathan Landes, President, Subsea at TechnipFMC, commented: “We previously installed subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines in the Dvalin field, and this new contract builds on the success of our installed base there. We have a deep understanding of our client’s needs and a strong, collaborative relationship with Wintershall Dea.”
Dvalin North was the second significant contract awarded to TechnipFMC by Wintershall Dea in 2022.
Wintershell Dea submitted a plan of development to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in December, to establish a tie back to the Heidrun platform via the Dvalin field. Wintershall Dea, and partners Petoro and Sval Energi, are set to increase gas exports to Europe with the development of the project. They intend to invest €780 million to develop the Dvalin North Field, which represents the largest discovery in Norway in 2021.
TecnhipFMC expects its order book in 2023 to accumulate a backlog of US$9 billion. These include work in Guyana on the Gas-to-Energy and Yellowtail projects.
