Statoil is modifying, on behalf of Gassco, the processing plant, via the Karsto Life Extension project, to enable it to process new light oil/condensate production coming on stream in the Norwegian North Sea.
The framework agreement covers a series of different FEED projects. Foster Wheeler has been awarded the first FEED call-off contract for the Gudrun Onshore Modifications project, the objective of which is to enable the Karsto plant to process light oil from the new Gudrun Field.
Umberto Sala, president and COO of Foster Wheeler, said: “We have the right upstream expertise and project execution skills to deliver high quality FEEDs for Gassco and Statoil and we also have a track record of project success in Norway and of building strong and long-lasting relationships through delivering excellence in alliance-type relationships.”
Gassco is operator for the Karsto terminal, which is owned by the Gassled joint venture, with Statoil as the technical service provider.
