Alongside enhancing oil production and gas exports, the investment is also expected to provide conditions for further development in the area.

Statoil Petroleum tie-back and brownfield projects vice-president Siv Irene Skadsem said: “By using standardised solutions and equipment, in addition to focusing on making this a maximum lean project, and working closely with Statoil’s operations and suppliers, we have come up with a very cost-efficient and profitable gas module.”

According to the company, the investment from Statoil and its partners will enable further development of Troll C as a hub for the Troll C and Fram area.

The module is expected to improve the profitability of the Troll C installation by increasing and accelerating production through the enhanced gas capacity.
