Statoil UK awards Mariner chemicals contract to Baker Hughes
Statoil (UK) Limited has awarded the contract for production chemicals and services for the Mariner field to Baker Hughes Limited in the UK.
Baker Hughes will design and supply production chemicals and services to the Mariner field under an 8 year contract, anticipated to start in July 2015. The contract also includes an extension option of four years.
The Mariner platform is currently under construction and production is scheduled to start in 2017.
Statoil’s Mariner project
The Mariner project entails investments of more than £4.5 billion. The field is expected to produce for at least 30 years. The average production is estimated at around 55 000 bpd of oil over the plateau period. The development plan includes a production, drilling and quarters (PDQ) platform based on a steel jacket, with a floating storage unit (FSU).
Statoil is the operator of Mariner with 65.11% equity. Co-venturers are JX Nippon Exploration and Production (U.K.) Limited (28.89%) and Dyas UK Ltd. (6%).
