Operated by Equinor, the Johan Sverdrup field is estimated to hold between 2.1 and 3.1 billion barrels of oil.

Earlier this month, Equinor opened a power-from-shore solution that is expected to deliver electricity to the field for more than 50 years.

“The contract for the flare tip change-out bears witness to our successful growth and the development of our capabilities as regards rope access.”

Full-field peak production is expected to be 660,000 barrels of oil per day.

In August, Equinor awarded a new contract to Aibel for hook-up works of the process platform (P1) and bridge UB002 from the process platform to the living quarter (LQ) at the Johan Sverdrup field.
