The Ormen Lange subsea compression project aims to unlock an additional 30 to 50 billion cubic metres of natural gas. This is expected to increase the field’s gas recovery rate from 75% to 85%.

Subsea 7 has completed the front-end engineering design study for subsea umbilicals and flowlines system of the Ormen Lange Field.

Subsea 7 Norway vice-president Monica Th Bjørkmann said: “This award demonstrates the value Subsea Integration Alliance brings by combining the technologies and capabilities of OneSubsea and Subsea 7 into a seamless integrated offering, resulting in the delivery of optimised solutions with reduced execution and interface risk.”

The contract comes a day after Norske Shell and Ormen Lange partners announced a final investment decision (FID) on the Ormen Lange wet gas subsea compression project.

Shell operates the field with a 17.8% stake. Other partners include Petoro (36.4%), Equinor (25.3%), Ineos (14%) and Vår Energi (6.3%).
