Statoil has awarded a subsea contract to Technip for the Gullfaks Rimfaksdalen (GRD) Marine Operations Pipelay and Subsea Installation project in Norway.

Technip’s operating centre in Oslo, Norway, will implement the GRD project, which includes a subsea tie-back to a new Wye piece on an existing pipeline near the Gullfaks A platform.
Work will be carried out about 190km north-west of Bergen, Norway, and Technip will fabricate and install two sections of pipe-in-pipe with a 13% chrome stainless-steel production flowline.
The company will also install and tie-in three spools and an 8.5km umbilical, as well as deploy a 280t template and a 110t manifold.
