By GlobalDataThe scope of work under the contract includes maintenance support services and brownfield modification projects covering engineering, procurement, fabrication and offshore installation.
Maintenance and modifications work will aim to help increase oil recovery rate and extend the life of BP’s fields.
BP Norway’s largest field, Valhall, which came on stream in 1982, is expected to produce oil until 2050, even though it is one of the oldest fields on the Norwegian continental shelf.
