Offshore & subsea - 28 February 2018

Subsea 7 S.A. announced the award of a sizeable contract by Wintershall for the Nova (formerly known as Skarfjell) oil and gas field development.

Aker Solutions won an order from Wintershall Norge AS to provide the subsea production system, umbilicals and services for the Nova oil and gas field offshore Norway, highlighting the value of early engagement in projects.

The project, completed in December 2017, utilised Bibby Offshore’s diving support vessel Bibby Topaz to carry out inspection, repair and maintenance operations in the Rhum gas field, approximately 380 km north-east of Aberdeen.

New automation technologies and ongoing support enable BP to target production growth and safe and reliable operations.
