"We are very enthused by winning the front-end design work for the Gjoa platform.
In the world market for oil and gas contractors, Gjoa is considered a strategically important project for Aker Kvaerner, underpinning our position as a leading supplier of floating production platforms.
This is once again a recognition of our competence and experience within this field, following our successful delivery of the Kristin semi-submersible to Statoil," says executive vice president Simen Lieungh in Aker Kvaerner.
The objective with the front end engineering is to provide the best possible basis for the owners' sanction process, develop all technical documentation for the plan for development and operation (PDO) application to the authorities.
The work will also form the technical basis for subsequent engineering, procurement and construction type contracts for the semi-submersible platform.
The Gjoa reservoir was proven in 1989 in the Fensfjord formation and contains gas with a relatively thin oil zone.
Gjoa is operated by Statoil in the development phase and Gaz de France in the operation phase.
Statoil has a 20 percent ownership in the field.
The other owners are Gaz de France (30 percent), Petoro (30 percent) and Norske Shell (12 percent) and RWE Dea Norge (8 percent).
