TechnipFMC has been awarded a significant integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation (iEPCI) contract by Equinor for the Johan Sverdrup phase three project in the Norwegian North Sea.
This development aims to boost production by connecting additional wells to the existing infrastructure, which is powered by low-emission resources from onshore.

The Johan Sverdrup field, which commenced production in 2019, is among the largest developments in the region, according to the company’s press release.
TechnipFMC will be responsible for designing, manufacturing and installing subsea production systems, umbilicals and rigid pipe to integrate new templates into the existing field centre.
This contract follows an integrated front end engineering and design (iFEED) study.
TechnipFMC subsea president Jonathan Landes said: “It is a privilege to contribute once again to the development of this field, where we delivered subsea production systems for each of the previous phases. We are excited to leverage our iEPCI integrated execution model to further enhance this world-class offshore asset.”
In October last year, TechnipFMC secured a similar contract from bp for the Kaskida project in the US Gulf of Mexico.
This iEPCI contract includes the design and fabrication of subsea production systems including 20,000psi standardised subsea trees and manifolds, following an iFEED study for the project.
The contract covers the design, production and installation of subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines.
Additionally, TechnipFMC has entered into a strategic alliance with Cairn Oil & Gas, part of the Vedanta Group, to advance the development of integrated subsea infrastructure for deep-water projects in India.
This collaboration will leverage TechnipFMC’s iEPCI model to enhance efficiency and innovation in Cairn’s deep-water exploration efforts.
The agreement with Cairn also involves using integrated front-end engineering and design to optimise project performance by engaging early.
It will also utilise TechnipFMC’s subsea production systems and capabilities in subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines.
