The partners in the Skarfjell license PL418, operated by Wintershall Norge AS, have selected a development solution for the Skarfjell field in the Norwegian North Sea. Under the proposed solution, the reservoir will be connected to the nearby Gjoa platform, operated by Engie E&P Norge, via a subsea tie-back.

Under the terms of the contract, Rosenberg WorleyParsons AS will provide a FEED-study to plan the required modifications to the Gjoa installation. The contract also includes an option for the execution phase of the project – engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC).

The tie back of Skarfjell production to Gjoa is in line with Engie E&P's strategy to make Gjoa a hub for future fields in the area and to extend the lifetime of the Gjoa platform.
