Statoil is to choose Samsung Heavy Industries for construction of the topsides for the Valemon platform to be stationed in the Valemon field in the North Sea.

The contract covers engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the topsides and living quarters, as well as an option for mating offshore of the topsides with the steel jacket. The Grenland group in Sandefjord, Norway and Technip in Malaysia will perform the engineering work. The Grenland group will also construct the flare boom. The living quarters will be built by Hertel Marine in the Netherlands.

Contracts for the construction of the steel platform jacket have previously been awarded to Heerema Vlissingen B.V. Transport and installation of the jacket and topsides was awarded earlier to Heerema Marine Contractors Nederland B.V. Saipem was assigned the contract for installation of the topsides. The contract for pipeline design has been awarded to IKM Ocean Design.

The Valemon field will have a fixed steel platform to separate gas, condensate (light oil) and water. The topsides will have facilities for partial processing and export of unstabilised condensate and rich gas.

Valemon is a gas and condensate field between Kvitebjørn and Gullfaks South in the North Sea, about 160 km west of Bergen. The recoverable reserves are put at 26 billion cubic metres of gas and five million cubic metres of condensate
Development plans call for an unstaffed fixed steel platform with separation facilities for gas, condensate and water. The existing infrastructure will be exploited via pipelines. Production start is scheduled for 2014.
