The Ormen Lange field, which came on stream in 2007, was initially developed by Hydro with two subsea well templates, with eight well slots each.
The subsea template from Grenland Group is a sub-contracted delivery to FMC Technologies, Inc.’s contract with Royal Dutch Shell plc (Shell) for Ormen Lange’s subsea production systems. StatoilHydro ASA is performing the installation of the template, on behalf of the operator Shell.
The field’s well stream of gas, condensate and water is transported from the subsea templates through two 30-inch diameter multi-phase pipelines, up the steep slope of the Storegga slide to Shell’s onshore processing facility at Aukra outside Molde.
