Wood Group awarded engineering modifications contract
HOUSTON, March 13, 2015 - Wood Group has been awarded a contract by Statoil, on
behalf of Gassco, for engineering modifications and upgrades to its Kollsnes
process plant, west of Bergen, Norway. Estimated value of the contract,
including options and procurement, is more than NOK500 million.
Contract scope includes front-end engineering design, procurement and
management assistance to expand plant capacity and engineering, procurement and
management assistance (EPma) to update the electrical, instrumentation and
control systems. Wood Group Mustang Norway started work earlier this month on
the project, which will last through 2017.
The Kollsnes plant processes natural gas from the Troll, Kvitebjørn and Visund
fields in the North Sea and currently provides almost 40 per cent of Norwegian
gas deliveries. These modifications will expand its capacity to accommodate
increased production from the Kvitebjorn platform in the North Sea. When
modifications are complete the Kollsnes facility will be one of the largest gas
processing plants in the world, with capacity to process 144.5 million cubic
metres per day of gas, and will help to ensure the commitments Statoil has of
gas deliveries to Europe.
"Wood Group Mustang's onshore engineering expertise combined with our knowledge
and experience with Statoil is enabling us to provide a competitive technical
solution for the Kollsnes plant," explained Otto Søberg, president of Wood
Group Mustang Norway.
The Kollsnes plant is owned by Gassled. Gassco is the operator and Statoil is
the technical service provider.
