Installation of Statoil's Johan Sverdrup Oil Pipeline Begins
The installation of the oil pipeline to the Johan Sverdrup field has commenced, Statoil said. According to a press release from the company, work began late last week on Saipem's pipe laying vessel, Castorone.
The 176-mile (283-km), 36-inch pipeline is being pulled through a pre-drilled hole at the bottom of the Fensfjorden. Once completed, it will be the longest oil pipeline on the Norwegian continental shelf, capable of transporting up to 660,000 bpd to Statoil's Mongstad terminal.
Statoil is developing the Johan Sverdrup field in two phases. Phase 1 is projected to be completed in late 2019 with production capacity estimated at 440,000 bpd. Phase 2 is projected to be completed in 2022, expanding the field's production capacity to 660,000 bpd.
