The offshore Johan Sverdrup development project involves platforms, which include a utility and accommodation platform, a processing platform, a drilling platform, as well as a riser platform – all connected by bridges.
Under the contract with Samsung Heavy Industries, MRC Energy Piping will be responsible for the supply of the pipe, fittings and flanges (PFF) to the processing and riser platforms of the project.
Samsung Heavy Industries was selected earlier by Statoil to construct the two platforms.
MRC Global chairman, president and CEO Andrew Lane said: "Our January 2014 acquisition of Stream AS, part of our long-term strategy to expand internationally and grow our upstream offshore business, brought both MRC Teamtrade and MRC Energy Piping to our company.
"Their long-term relationships and excellent track record with Statoil, now one of our top 20 customers, has created this opportunity for growth even in the face of this challenging market."
Throughout the field’s lifetime, MRC Teamtrade will provide instrumentation products including Hoke Gyrolok fittings, instrument valves and manifolds, for all four platforms, as part of the contract.
The firm will also supply BuTech high-pressure fittings, tubing and valves, and instrument tubing, heat-traced tubing, hoses and seal rings.
The Johan Sverdrup field is operated by Statoil with a 40.0267% stake while other partners include Lundin Norway with 22.6% stake, Petoro with 17.36% equity, Det norske oljeselskap with 11.5733%interest and Maersk Oil with 8.44% stake.
