Aker Solutions ASA: Giant Goliat sail-away
30 March 2012 - Aker Solutions has successfully completed the manufacturing and subsequent load-out of eight subsea manifolds and six riser bases for Eni Norge's Goliat project in the Barents Sea.
"This is probably the largest single subsea delivery we have made from Egersund. I'm proud of my colleagues, and satisfied on behalf of our customer Eni Norge AS, that we are delivering this on schedule and on budget," says Svein Oskar Nuland, head of Aker Solutions' yard in Egersund, Norway.
"Our project team at Fornebu and here in Egersund has worked tirelessly to complete this important milestone".
The delivery of the subsea manifolds and riser bases is the yard's second hardware load-out for the Goliat subsea project. The first, consisting of eight subsea templates, was also delivered on schedule when it sailed out of Egersund at the end of March last year.
Aker Solutions' Goliat contract, signed in September 2009, comprises of engineering, procurement and construction of a complete subsea production system. Subsea hardware deliveries include eight overtrawlable four-slot subsea templates with manifolds, wellheads system, 24 subsea trees, subsea and topside controls systems, 20 kilometres of steel tube umbilicals, work-over equipment and a tie-in and connection system.
