The Energy Products Division of Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has been awarded a contract by Statoil to supply the umbilical system for the Smørbukk North East project. The project consists of 5.7km (18,701ft) of steel tube umbilical, termination hardware, and site support. The umbilical will be constructed at the division’s manufacturing location in Tønsberg, Norway.

Parker’s extensive and reputable experience in manufacturing and on-time delivery of custom-made umbilicals contributed to Statoil’s award decision.

Smørbukk North East is part of the Åsgard unit in the North Sea. It is located in the Halten area, approximately 3.4ml (5.5km) north-east of the Åsgard n-template. This award is a fast track project and will be delivered by end of June 2011.
