Norwegian company Aker Solutions has secured a deal to provide front end engineering and design (FEED) services for a module that will increase output at the Troll natural gas field in North Sea.
The contract was awarded by Statoil and also includes an option to provide engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) services for the module.
The module will be installed at the Troll A platform and is expected to receive and process gases recovered from the Troll West field.
Gases produced from the field will be transported to the onshore Kollsnes facility located near Bergen, Norway.
Aker Solutions CEO Luis Araujo said: “We're excited to start working on the next phase of this important development and look forward to collaborating with Statoil to optimise value from this field.”
The Troll field is situated in the northern part of the North Sea, roughly 65km west of Kollsnes.
