Aker Kvaerner has been awarded two new contracts by Hydro and ConocoPhillips, for cleaning and recycling of the glycol used to enhance the flow of gas in subsea pipelines in order to avoid freezing
The frame agreement is for the supply of subsea steel tube umbilicals and associated engineering personnel.
The first project executed under the agreement will be the Howe Phase 2 project, which will use the same cross-section as the Merganser umbilicals.
Under the existing agreement, signed in 2001, Aker Kvaerner has delivered umbilicals for six Shell projects in the British and Dutch sectors of the North Sea including Scoter, Pelican, Howe, Merganser, K15/K7 and K8.
"Frame agreements help promote an optimal way of working: alignment in the pursuit of HSE excellence; incorporation of lessons learned for efficient execution, resulting in shorter delivery times; and close dialogue on future needs, so we can allocate capacity for Shell," says Raymond Carlsen, executive vice president Aker Kvaerner Subsea.
The steel tube umbilicals will be manufactured at the Aker Kvaerner Subsea facility in Moss, Norway.
