Now the construction of the giant field in time – TU

Johan Sverdrup building is now officially underway, according to Statoil today.

The fabrication of the first building blocks for Johan Sverdrup project began on Monday 29 June.

According to Statoil, it was burning operator Stian Myrvold Green at Kvaerner started the machine that will cut up the steel to what will be the jacket into a riser platform on the Johan Sverdrup field.

Why Sverdrup as important

Sverdrup field is seen as a kind of rescue by the Norwegian oil adventure. In a period where the oil industry was billed as a sunset industry, came Sverdrup field with surprising results in a very mature area.

Field comes according to Statoil to create 51,000 jobs, it’s going to produce in about 50 years and can have a combined production income throughout 1350 billion over 50 years.

Europe’s

The jacket is now under construction at Kvaerner Verdal will weigh 26,500 tons. That makes it the largest jacket in Europe.

– The jacket will also be the most complex, built in the industry. The chassis should we draw strength from the land, control subsea water injection and export oil and gas produced from the field. In addition, we are facilitating to take in future phases of the Johan Sverdrup field development to the riser platform.

– In the construction of the chassis, we arrange to take in as much as 56 gjennomføringsrør says Thick according to the message.

Install in 2017

The jacket into a riser platform will be transported and installed on the Johan Sverdrup field in 2017. Because of the size will jacket being transported to the field in the biggest barge for this type of transport in the world, Heerema H-851.

In order to receive the 260-meter-long barge, must dock at Kværner Verdal upgraded.

The template will be installed on the field during the summer / autumn 2015, according to Statoil.
