MONTREAL,
March 27, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ -
SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC) has been awarded a contract by HFG
Engineering Europe B.V. (HFGE) to carry out part of the detailed
design of the jacket for Statoil's Gina Krog offshore field
development on the Norwegian continental shelf. Statoil renamed the
Dagny field Gina Krog in March
2013.
The engineering for the approximately
16,000-tonne, barge-launched jacket will be executed as a joint
effort of HFGE and SNC-Lavalin. SNC-Lavalin will carry out the work
from its Croydon-based offices.
"We worked with HFGE on the record-breaking
Valemon jacket for Statoil, and we are pleased to have the
opportunity to support them once again," said Hafez Aghili, Senior Vice-President and General
Manager, SNC-Lavalin UK. "This most recent award is a testament to
the expertise of our offshore engineering team for both
lifted and barge-launched jackets."
The Gina Krog oil, gas and condensate field will
be developed using a fixed platform tied into the Sleipner field
for gas export, with oil offloaded to shuttle tankers. The project
is due to come online in the first quarter of 2017.
