Aker Solutions opens new subsea facility

The new subsea hall will add another capacity to the yard and help further develop Aker Solutions' leading position within subsea processing technologies.
 
The new hall is tailored to handle highly sensitive subsea equipment including strict demands for cleanliness.  It is designed to handle large structures such as the Ormen Lange subsea compression station pilot, which will measure 35 x 6.5 x 13 metres and weigh 1100 tonnes when assembled. The hall covers an area of 1900 square metres and is 26 metres tall. Total investment is approximately NOK 40 million.

The first project to be undertaken in the subsea hall is the assembly and testing of the groundbreaking Ormen Lange subsea compression station pilot that Aker Solutions is developing for Statoil. The initial contract for delivery of a subsea compression station pilot was awarded by Statoil to Aker Solutions in July 2006. The aim of the Ormen Lange project is to evaluate whether a subsea compression station, at approximately 900 metres water depth, is a viable alternative to an offshore platform.
 
The subsea compression station pilot, which will be built in Egersund, is identical to one out of four trains on the proposed full-scale subsea compression station. After assembly and testing in Egersund, the pilot will be transported to the Nyhamna onshore terminal, where it will undergo endurance testing in a purpose-built test pit.

Aker Solutions opened a new subsea facility at its yard in Egersund, west Norway.
