Kyrre Fatval, Project Director Hasselmus Development, says: “This award to Subsea Integration Alliance supports our strategy for early engagement and full subsea system delivery. Fabrication of the pipelines will take place at Subsea 7’s spoolbase at Vigra, Norway and offshore operations will be executed in 20. Project management and engineering will commence immediately at Subsea 7’s offices in Stavanger, Norway.

The SURF scope comprises approximately nine kilometres of pipe-in-pipe flowline and associated structures in water depths of approximately 250 metres. The project work scope covers the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of the subsea production systems (SPS) and subsea pipelines (SURF) for a single subsea well with direct tie-back to the Draugen production platform. Subsea Integration Alliance is a strategic global alliance between Subsea 7 and OneSubsea®, the subsea technologies, production and processing systems division of Schlumberger. OKEA has July 1st awarded contracts for the Hasselmus project to Subsea Integration Alliance for the subsea pipelines and production systems and to Aker Solutions for the modifications of the Draugen platform. Life time extension for the subsea structures is required to maintain the forecasted production profile. With declining oil production, sufficient volumes of associated gas will not be available for power generation, and alternative solutions are therefore being evaluated. A new subsea pump contributes to increased production from the subsea wells. One new well was drilled in 2015 and started production in late 2017. Excess associated gas is transported via the Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS) to the Kårstø terminal. The associated gas is used for power generation. The oil is offloaded via a floating loading-buoy and exported by tankers. The field is produced by pressure maintenance from water injection and by aquifer support. They are relatively homogeneous, with good reservoir quality. The reservoirs lie at a depth of 1,600 metres. The western part of the field also produces from sandstone of Middle Jurassic age in the Garn Formation. The main reservoir is in sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Rogn Formation. Production started in 1993.ĭraugen produces oil from two formations.

Two pipelines connect the facility to a floating loading-buoy.

Stabilised oil is stored in tanks at the base of the facility. The field has been developed with a concrete fixed facility and integrated topside, and has both platform and subsea wells. Draugen was discovered in 1984, and the plan for development and production (PDO) was approved in 1988. The water depth in the area is 250 metres. It has been producing since 1993.ĭraugen is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. Draugen was discovered in 1984 and the oil is found in the Garn and Rogn formations, of which the latter holds approximately 90% of the reserves.
